  Grant-Writing: Learning

  Exploring

  and Achieving in the Profession of STEM for First-Generation and Financially Under-resourced College Students

  I served as the Principal Investigator for a diversity mini grant which was received through NC State University's Office for Institutional Equity and Diversity. The grant funded the LEAPS program (Learning

  Exploring

  and Achieving in the Profession of STEM) for TRIO Student Support Services-STEM. We were able to develop and implement a semester-long career and professional skills preparation program for participants to increase both graduation and persistence rates of SSS-STEM students through providing support in developing realistic career goals

  navigating the career development process

  and gaining a professional network for full-time and internship positions.

  Holding top strengths as both a learner and achiever

  and beyond. \n\nMy passions lie in working with at-risk student populations (particularly students from first-generation college backgrounds and/or low-income households)
