“SELC’s culture inspires me to learn and grow every single day,” Virginia said. “I love that they work to preserve the environment of the places that are dearest to my heart.” 

The foremost place is Lake Hartwell, a manmade reservoir on the border of South Carolina and Georgia. “Thanks to my parent’s good providence, my siblings and I grew up spending our summers there,” said Virginia, who spent her childhood in the Georgia cities of Athens and Locust Grove.  

SELC’s focus on water quality inspires Virginia. “Knowing that we are fighting to hold polluters accountable makes me feel proud to be a part of SELC,” she said.
