Eager to take advantage of the resources she wouldn't have access to in her native Zimbabwe, Julia Grotto '17 took every opportunity to explore her interests, becoming the program leader for Dreamporte, a campus kindness ambassador of Harvard College Faith in Action, and a research assistant with a graduate student's project developing 3-D printed lithium-ion batteries.⠀ ⠀ This spring, she is a teaching fellow for an electricity and magnetism class; meanwhile, she looks into graduate programs that focus on engineering design. She hopes to combine science, art, and service in a career and perhaps return to her beloved Zimbabwe someday. “I was extremely fortunate to be able to come here,” she said of Harvard. “Everyone should be able to have that accessibility to effective education.”⠀ ⠀ #Harvard #Harvard17
