About
My name is Soleil! I am an international student at the University of Texas at Austin from the Cayman Islands. I am studying Sustainability Studies and plan to minor in Government as I am very passionate about protecting my island, and other island nations, from the effects of the climate crisis and overdevelopment. My hobbies surround being outside exploring nature and also listening to and playing music!
