" As someone shaped by diverse cultures and driven by a passion for inclusion, I prioritize giving voice to the underrepresented. I am excited to be a Millennium Fellow because it offers a platform to amplify my voice, refine my leadership, and collaborate with like-minded change makers in advancing equality and inclusion—values I have long been committed to championing.

Millennium Fellowship Project: GrowthPath: Learn, Thrive, Achieve

This project aims to inspire students in underserved schools in our community to value education while equipping them with practical tools to achieve their goals. Through interactive workshops, hands-on skill training, mentorship, and digital literacy sessions, students will learn how to leverage technology, write essays, apply for scholarships, and develop life skills such as critical thinking and public speaking. By involving parents and the community, the project seeks to create lasting support and ensure students not only understand the importance of education but also have the guidance and resources to succeed.
Measurable Goals (August–December 2025):
We aim to visit schools, engaging at least 100 students. Through interactive workshops, students will gain practical skills such as digital literacy, essay writing, scholarship applications, and life skills including critical thinking and public speaking, with a goal that at least 80% of participants acquire new knowledge or skills. The project will also provide notebooks, pens, and learning materials, and involve parents and community members to support continued learning. Feedback and short surveys will be collected after the workshop to measure understanding and engagement, while tracking the number of students reached, and materials distributed to ensure the goals are met.
