From Zero to Carbon Hero: The Jayleen Harvey Story 🌱✨

Once upon a time, in a small town where the air was thick with dreams and diesel fumes, a girl next door named Jayleen Harvey dared to ask: "What if we could turn pollution into purpose?" 🤔💡

The Spark That Ignited It All 🔥

Picture this: 18-year-old Jayleen, fresh out of high school, working part-time at a local coffee shop ☕, saving every penny while scribbling equations on napkins. Her "aha" moment? Watching a documentary on climate change—tears streaming, heart racing—she realized: "I can’t just serve lattes. I need to serve the planet." 🌎💔

But here’s the twist: she had zero connections, zero funding, and a whopping $237 in her bank account. 💸

The Hustle Years: Sweat, Tears, and CO2 💦

Fast-forward through the glamorous struggles:
- Sleeping in her car 🚗💤 between community college classes (shoutout to free campus Wi-Fi).
- Cold-emailing 200+ scientists 📧—getting 199 rejections and one life-changing "maybe."
- Maxing out credit cards to attend a carbon tech conference... only to be told "You’re too young, too female, too inexperienced." (Spoiler: She proved them wrong. Hard.) 💪

Then—breakthrough. A scrappy prototype for a portable carbon capture device, built in her mom’s garage. Investors laughed... until it worked. 🎯

The Rise: Catching Carbon (& Attention) 📈

Today, Jayleen isn’t just a Carbon Capture Specialist—she’s a movement. 🌿✨
- Named "30 Under 30" in Climate Tech 🏆 (take that, doubters!).
- Founded AirBorne Innovations, a startup turning industrial emissions into clean energy. ⚡
- Spotted chatting with Bill Gates about carbon neutrality (casual). 😏

But here’s the real magic: She’s still that girl next door. The one who blushes at compliments, dances in lab goggles, and believes anyone can change the world—even you. 🌟

Why Follow Jayleen? ❤️

Because her story isn’t just about carbon. It’s about grit, grace, and going after what scares you. It’s about laughing through failures, fighting for what’s right, and maybe wearing heels to a landfill (don’t ask). 👠♻️

"The air we save isn’t for us—it’s for the kids we’ll never meet." ✨
