I am a 12th grader at School Without Walls Senior High School. I’m a goal driven, kind hearted, and compassionate scholar with a dream to heal hearts and minds of people through therapy. I am also into photography, music and simply hanging out with friends. I began working at the Young Women's Project to originally just make an easy quick few bucks. But overtime, while working at the office, I grew to enjoy the work. Spreading something important as sexual health to other people in my age group became something I was inspired by. And as a peer advocate I get to spread the ideas of our youth to those who can have an impactful change. I would say While working here I got to do some amazing things. Such as testify in front an actually members of the Board of Education and other places. But one of the amazing things I believed I’ve done was take the knowledge of what I learned to help someone with a serious issue pertaining to sexual health. From that alone I learned that from this job I can have an impact on people. I would say my favorite part about working here was coming to the office. I was always welcomed even when we're being kicked out. I enjoyed working with the Young Women’s Project.
