Graduated
2010
In my pursuit of a bachelors at the Evergreen State College, I developed an Individual Learning Contract entitled “Domestic Violence in Trinidad and Tobago” inspired by a prior visit to the country. Funding from the Gilman Scholarship afforded me the opportunity to pursue this dream project in Trinidad and Tobago during the Spring semester of 2010. Through research, I was able to integrate what I had learned not only academically, but also professionally. I applied my research toward building the foundation needed to develop my own non-profit “The Dragonfly Centre for Women’s Empowerment and Transformation” – whose stated mission is “touching hearts and healing lives”.
