Class of 2022 |
Sinet Kroch is a junior at Bucknell University majoring in Environmental Studies and Women’s and Gender Studies. Motivated by her rural upbringing, Sinet aims to improve waste management, instill a sustainability framework, and raise awareness on environmental issues in her village and her country as a whole. She wants to become an environmental activist and looks forward to working in industries that deal with zero waste management and renewable energy.
To sharpen her skills, Sinet has been a Sustainability Community Intern at Bucknell and a Historic Archives Intern with the Walnut Acres Foundation, where she designed a zero waste manual and interviewed both professors and students on their involvement with the foundation. On campus, she has been a SpeakUp Peer Educator and conducted workshops to prevent, raise awareness, and stimulate conversation on preventing sexual violence and achieving healthy relationships. She also was a Common Ground Facilitator and led five-day retreats for Bucknell students to explore conversations regarding race, gender, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. Sinet grew up in Siem Reap’s rural outskirts, and unfortunately grew up in a violent household which inhibited her family’s income and prevented her three older brothers from pursuing a higher education. These circumstances made Sinet work even harder at school until her hard work paid off with a full scholarship to study at the Jay Pritzker Academy (JPA), a prestigious school with both American and Cambodian curriculums. Through JPA, she won scholarships to study abroad both in Australia and Singapore and realized that the world is bigger than her village. Sinet has made the impossible possible. |
