About me:

I was the first person in my family to go to college. I feel it is very important for kids to know that they can be just as successful as anyone else. They also need to know that there are people in our community they can reach out to as resources to help them achieve their goals, whether it is traditional college, trade school or other training programs.

Favorite subjects in school:

Science, History, German

What I hope to do with this foundation:

I want to give back to the community that I grew up in. I believe it is important to offer a hand up to those who need it.
