Future Leaders Scholarship Recipient, Kimberley Spears
Kimberley Spears is a recent graduate of Messalonskee High School. She plans on attending the University of Maine to major in Chemistry. Through Girl Scouts, she has gained confidence and developed her personal values and has earned her Bronze and Silver Awards. She has had the chance to meet new people, engage with her community, build camping and social skills, and to be a role model for younger girls. Kimberley notes that income inequality and lack of advancement in the workplace, especially in STEM fields, is a big challenge women and girls face today. She will encourage young girls in STEM and advocate for equal pay for equal work.
