Her current plan now is to find a “big girl” job and venture into the real world.

High School: Social Justice Academy

College: Bridgewater State University (undergrad) and Simmons College (masters)

Bottom Line Memory: Going over college applications, college tours and awesome care packages.

If I could send a care package, I’d fill it with: Hope and a flashlight. A lot of times life happens and things get a little hard and a little dark.  With hope and a flashlight we can see our way through.

Why I stay involved with Bottom Line:  Bottom Line is very important to me- people there have helped me to get where I am now. Before Bottom Line, I never thought of applying to a four-year college. I intended to go to a community college and then see what happened from there. Bottom Line gave me hope.  I love the cause and want to support it in its mission.

People would be surprised to learn that I used to: I used to have no intentions of driving or learning how to do it.

The BEST part of being a college graduate is:  I made new friends from all over the world and of different cultures. I experienced a lot of different things and gained a lot of knowledge.

Join me by supporting Bottom Line by attending volunteering opportunities!
