I am honoured to spend beautiful 30 minutes with Maeva during this meeting. Maeva have a great personality with elegance, good knowledge and smiling face. I was really impressed to know that she is doing her PhD and besides that she is also working on many other projects related to climate change, UNESCO project for supporting people and online education. Looking forward to meet her again.

I had never met anyone that has visited both poles until I met Maeva. She is so smart and well versed in several areas. Maeve is truly doing work that will help save our planet and change the way we educate our kids about it. What an incredible asset she is.
