About the Millennium Fellow
Global service has been and always will be the most fundamental part of my upbringing. Beginning in Guatemala at the age of eight, my background has been marked by service - ranging from global service endeavors to local efforts. In the past 11 years, I have grown a lot, along with my love for serving others. Today, I feel that I am more equipped than ever to make an impact, still with a pressing question: how?
