Amira Azoulay
Climate Communications Intern
As the first-ever Climate Kid, Amira has worked with the Climate Science Alliance since a young age, interacting with classmates and volunteering for the organization.
Amira Azoulay (she/her) grew up in San Diego, California. She is a junior at Mission Bay High School, working towards obtaining the prestigious International Baccalaureate diploma at the end of high school. She is involved in the Youth Advocates Club on campus, a group of students aiming to lower teen substance abuse and bolster substance abuse prevention. A very active member of her community, Amira has been featured several times in the local PB Monthly magazine for involvement in club events.
Outside of school, Amira has a great passion for rowing. Starting when she was in eighth grade, she is now a returning varsity member of the San Diego Rowing Club juniors program, the oldest rowing club in San Diego. Her other pastimes include reading, jogging, playing with her cats, and listening to French hip hop.
Solana Herold
Climate Education Student Intern
Solana Herold (She/Her) was born and raised in San Diego, living in France for a few years in elementary school before returning. Having graduated from Canyon Crest Academy in May, Solana has committed to pursuing higher education with an Environmental Management and Soil Science degree at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo beginning in the fall of 2024.
Solana holds a deep interest in nature and the environment as they intersect with international policies, tourism, and (on another note) the food industry. In the past, she has worked with her community to install a bike lane in front of her school, collaborate in a poetry-dance show, and create a STEM curriculum for and with students in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
A strong contributor to her interests is her love for travel and the outdoors, whether that be in the backyard, across the country, or around the world. She has delved into adventures in France, Kenya, and a couple west coast national parks already, and hopes to continue pursuing depth, knowledge, and fun in the future. As well as excitement, Solana values time to reflect, and enjoys reading as often as possible, surfing, and writing the occasional piece.
