I am incredibly grateful for this given opportunity. Growing up, I have always felt underestimated by those around me but receiving this award feels like a giant, comforting hug to my younger self, reassuring her that she had it in her all along. I am thankful for my family who has worked so hard to raise me. They have consistently pushed me to be the best version of myself and to pursue my dreams, no matter the path I choose.

I am currently studying film and my passion lies in creating stories that inspire women like me. This scholarship will not only help fund my education in transferring, but also fund my creative endevors in filmmaking. Through my films, I aim to showcase that women can possess wit, humor, beauty, talent, and intelligence. I hope my work will help recognize and celebrate the diverse experiences and voices of women and people all around.
