How will this scholarship help you?
As a single mother and returning college student this scholarship will be helpful in keeping my family secure during these uncertain times.
What part of your internship are you are most looking forward to?
I am excited to be working in a corporate atmosphere, gaining real life experience. This opportunity gives us the ability to learn, earn, and grow as a working student.
What is one interesting fact about yourself?
I am the founder of The Mission H.O.P.E (Helping Our People Elevate) H.O.P.E. is an agency supported by the community it serves and is judgment free—this assistance includes building knowledge and awareness of the world we live in, preparation for our children’s future, promote healthy minds and bodies, and orchestrate local events to promote the bettering of our community. Members of H.O.P.E recognize that we cannot fix Rochester’s issues unless we remain diligent and of the utmost character.
