" I came to realization in my second semester of Sophomore year that at the end of the day, I want to do a job that is impactful. Monetary value is not my pursuit but rather the impact of the work makes me feel content. Upon Millennium Fellowship, I look forward to working with peers who have positivity and do our best to create our impact. "
