As a college graduate pursuing a degree in public health, my biggest impact has been supporting underserved communities and addressing health disparities to achieve health equity and dismantle systems of oppression. I have had the privilege and opportunity to work with and serve various diverse communities.

10,000 Degrees played a crucial role by providing the financial support I needed to complete my education, equipping me with the knowledge and skills to make a difference in the lives of those whose lives I’ve impacted today. Without their help, I wouldn’t have been able to pursue this career path and create a positive impact on my community.
