Bottom Line Memory: Visiting UMass Amherst with the Bottom Line

If I could send a care package, I’d fill it with: Trader Joe’s Almond Vanilla Granola Clusters and Eucerin Body Lotion (weird combination but I couldn’t start my day without either!)

Why I stay involved with Bottom Line: I support and believe in Bottom Line’s mission and values. I stay involved with Bottom Line because they not only believe the people in my community can beat the odds but they ensure that they do.

People would be surprised to learn that I used to: Write for the O’Bryant newspaper

The BEST part of being in college was: Spending a semester abroad

The HARDEST part about being a college graduate is: Cooking, though the food wasn’t always great in college, at least I didn’t have to cook.

Join me in supporting Bottom Line by: Donate if you’re able to, if not support with your time and skills.
