East Meck Grad Dariana González Off to Harvard to Fight Climate Change
First-generation immigrant saw her hometown ravaged by droughts
Dariana González remembers walking through green fields of maize and agave surrounding her hometown of Guanajuato, Mexico as a child with her father Dario González. Today, some of that landscape only remains in their memories. After moving to the United States in 2007, the González family saw Guanajuato shrink from a lovely farming town into a community ravaged by climate change with each visit.
Now Dariana is on her way to Harvard University to help save other communities, and the world as a whole, from suffering the same fate.
