For Denise P., earning her M.S. in Applied Behavior Analysis was about creating new opportunities for herself and her family. Inspired by her daughter, Denise returned to school after a seven-year break, balancing two jobs, coursework, and motherhood during the pandemic.

Today, she's working toward her BCBA certification and advancing toward her goal of becoming a supervisor in her field. Along the way, she's learned the value of perseverance, organization, and leaning on the support of those around her.

Her advice: "Don't give up, because anything you work hard for is worth it! Just keep going, at your own pace and never be afraid to reach out for help because you’ll be surprised how many people are willing to help.”

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we're proud to celebrate Denise's journey and the example she's setting for her family, her community, and future generations. 💙✨

"Every discussion, case example, and reflection feels connected to the work I hope to do in my community and beyond.”

For Kristin S., family, service, and community are more than values. They're at the heart of who she is. As a proud Filipina American, granddaughter of Veterans, military spouse, and someone who supports her family while pursuing her goals, she's learned the power of showing up for others with compassion and care.

Those experiences inspire the future she's building through mental health counseling. She hopes to create spaces where people feel seen, understood, and supported, especially during life's most challenging moments. Through culturally responsive, trauma-informed care, she hopes to help others navigate healing, identity, and personal growth.

This , we're celebrating Kristin's story and the heart she brings to everything she does!
