" As a child, I had the luxury of dreaming—I imagined myself as a teacher, a doctor, or an engineer. For far too many students, those same dreams feel out of reach, with few resources to make them a reality. I am excited to be a Millennium Fellow because I will be part of a community of like-minded individuals dedicated to uplifting students and creating opportunities that will inspire and empower future generations. "
