Hello, Glimpsers! My name is Leona Wong. I was born and raised in San Francisco and currently, I teach high school biology and environmental science. I love to travel and observe the local flora and fauna of every place I visit. Costa Rica will be amazing!!

I became a Global Glimpse Leader because of Global Glimpse’s mission to help young people experience the world and understand the intricacies within. To create a sustainable future for humanity, we must first understand the issues we have to resolve. I love the concept of thinking globally and acting locally to change the world for the better.

I am very much looking forward to meeting all of you on the trip (and of course trying new foods and experiencing new things)! Let us learn and adventure together!
