What I have learned so far in Urban Alliance:

“I’ve learned so much from Urban Alliance! I have learned the importance of being consistent and to balance a busy work schedule with my academic obligations. I’ve become a better communicator and a well rounded person.”

My favorite thing about work: “My favorite thing about work is being able to work in a field that I’m destined to be a part of in the future. It gives me hands on experience on how to run a organization.”

An interesting fact about me: “One interesting fact is that I’m very shy. No one sees it because I always show that I’m not afraid to dance in public or talk to others but deep down inside I’m so nervous. Literally, shaking in my boots.”
