Hello, and welcome to my eportfolio! My name is Bethlehem Tadesse. I was raised in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I came to the United States in 2021 to acquire higher education. Currently, I am a rising senior chemistry major and a nonprofit and social innovation minor at the University of Maryland, College Park. I am intrigued by how chemistry can drive real-world solutions in air quality, water resources, or innovative environmental development. With a strong foundation in chemistry and a growing interest in nonprofit work, I intend to bridge science and community responsibilities to create a more sustainable and equitable future. I am excited to contribute to meaningful change through research, advocacy, and hands-on initiatives. For fun, I enjoy taking a walk, watching family TV shows, playing card games, and playing tennis.
