I am deeply grateful for the community members, mentors, and loved ones who have supported and continue to support me.

I know that the resources that have been granted to me thus far are an absolute privilege – one to which not all have had access and one which does not go unnoticed. I promise to keep my blessings in mind to pay it forward to the communities who have invested in me.
