I’m grateful. There are times in my life where I can indistinctly recognize the learning and growth I’ve seen in myself. Currently, I’m 24 years old and have had countless opportunities to better myself as an individual and contribute to the communities around me. My next step is to attend graduate school at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, working to get my Masters Degree in Higher Education Administration. I want to use education as a medium for supported learning and student leadership. I have seen the power of education around the world thanks to my work in the UK and Cambodia. I am grateful for mentors and teachers who have helped me become the person I am today. I look forward to a life-long journey of learning, dedicated to the empowerment others in my communities.
