My biggest impact on my community has been working for a local energy provider that is bringing clean, renewable energy to communities thus helping them reach their climate goals ahead of schedule and decrease the emissions of greenhouse gases. Being the first person in my family to graduate from college has allowed me to set a positive example for my younger siblings and has allowed me to guide them in college topics that were once uncharted for my family. I owe a lot of my success to the financial and networking support I received from 10,000 Degrees in college, which enabled me to focus on my studies, double major, and land a job immediately post graduation.
