🌿 Rachel Perez: The Girl Next Door Saving the Planet, One Innovation at a Time 🌍

Hey there, sunshine! ☀️ I’m Rachel—your friendly neighborhood Climate Tech Innovator with a heart full of hope and a brain buzzing with ideas. Imagine if your best friend, your favorite barista, and Greta Thunberg had a love child… that’s me. 😉

My Story: From Backyard Dreams to Global Impact 🌱

I grew up in a tiny town where the air smelled like rain and possibility. My dad taught me to fix broken radios; my mom showed me how to grow tomatoes in coffee cans. We didn’t have much, but we had enough—and that’s when I first fell in love with the magic of making more from less. 💫

At 16, I turned my parents’ garage into a lab (sorry, Dad’s tools!). By 22, I was pitching solar-powered water filters to investors who definitely underestimated the girl in overalls. Now? I’m leading a team that’s reinventing how cities breathe, one algae-powered skyscraper at a time. 🌆➡️🌳

My Life Philosophy: "Glow Now, Grow Forever" ✨

• Joy is renewable energy. Dance breaks > burnout. 🌈
• Progress over perfection. My first prototype caught fire. (Lesson learned! 🔥)
• The future isn’t built by lone geniuses—it’s built by neighbors. That’s you and me, babe. 🤝

Why Follow Me?

• I’ll show you how tech can feel human (think: compostable smartphones 👀).
• My DMs are open for your wildest eco-dreams. (Yes, even the one about mushroom sneakers 🍄)
• Behind-the-scenes of saving the planet—bloopers included. (Spoiler: I trip over cables. A lot.)

Let’s get messy. Let’s get hopeful. Let’s build something beautiful. 🛠️💚
