“I was born and raised in South Bend, Texas, a little rural village in Texas, and I am a flood survivor. Because trying to rebuild your home and life without flood insurance impacts your life, my aim is to find a way to deal with floods in Texas“.

” I grew up in a colonia with limited resources and language barriers for my family to mitigate the negative effects caused by flooding.I am passionate about developing educational materials that every Texan can understand. “.

” Coming from Serbia, a country that is underrepresented and where communication during and after natural disasters is poorly developed, I am passionate about making a change and bringing more awareness to flooding. “.
