“Forbes is partnering with @closethegaporg to host virtual student mentoring sessions, leveraging the @ForbesUnder30 superstars and game changers to make an impact on the next generation.”
Honored to be a panelist (judge) for the Fellowship Pitch Day hosted by @closethegaporg! I particularly loved how they were teaching these young people who were from low income, systemically underrepresented backgrounds to be "exceptional, not exceptions." #PitchCompetition
One week from today, Close the Gap Foundation will be awarding over $10,000 in scholarships to 30 resilient and growth-minded Fellows.
We are incredibly grateful for our presenting partner @DoorDash for making this unprecedented partnership possible!

As a first-gen student myself, it was a great experience to be part of the mentor network of @ForbesUnder30 and @closethegaporg to bridge the network gap for first-generation, low-income students.

A very fun & enlightening experience-- I may have been the #ForbesUnder30 mentor in my cohort, but the students always gave such real & good insight that got me rethinking my own perspectives on STEM and education. Thanks @closethegaporg !
