My name is Clare Kuntz: an aspiring chemical (or nuclear, science and math just rock) engineer, a tree hugger, and a native flatlander from the rolling Flint Hills of Chapman, Kansas. Growing up, I always had a passion for the natural world; my parents could not keep me indoors. Peeking into a pond, scaling a tree, and digging through rock piles stimulated my curiosity to the brim. With this love for mother nature, I like to find the simplicity in life’s everyday moments, and my world is full of spontaneous bliss and compassion. As I reflect on the gift that the Harvey’s have bestowed upon me, I am filled with gratitude. Gratitude for their generosity, for their kindness, and for the profound impact they will have on my life. I am eager to pay it forward to others because of the Harveys’ philanthropy.
