About

My name is Ke'ana Dekle, and I am a dedicated science student specializing in wildlife biology. From a young age, I was fascinated by the natural world, inspired by shows like Wild Kratts and Pokémon. That passion led me to pursue a career in conservation and research, with the goal of making a meaningful impact in my field.

I am committed to breaking barriers in science and encouraging more women to pursue careers in STEM. In the future, I aspire to become a professor and mentor, guiding young women to embrace their uniqueness and follow their dreams. I believe that representation and support are essential in shaping the next generation of scientists, and I am excited to be part of that change.
