It’s an honor for me that Uvaro and BWOSS recognize my potential. It’s further validation that I’m on the right path. It’s also a huge motivator for me to work even harder. More importantly, this scholarship shows me how much Uvaro cares about and supports its students. I’m very grateful to have found the Uvaro community.

Women of Color in Tech Recipient Fall 2021
Winning this scholarship means access to invaluable, sustained, mentorship that I am so eagerly seeking as I work to learn the tools and break into tech from my commercial real estate background. I chose Uvaro because of the tight knit alumni community and the quality of career coaching. Having Alyx Parks, James Howell, Joseph Fung, and the alumni base in my corner is inimitable.
