My life has been shaped by the perspective I gained as a student on the first SSTS course over ten years ago, and I want as many students as possible to have the same opportunity. SSTS strives to empower students to combat what we call “the paralysis of enormity” when looking at what can be overwhelming global challenges. Learning to break problems into smaller pieces, to value even small improvements, and to take responsibility for working towards solutions guided me toward a career where I want to tackle one of our society’s biggest challenges – the health care system.

Through my experience with Shoulder-to-Shoulder, I developed a desire to serve others who are experiencing hardship. SStS is structured to not merely give handouts, but to empower the people with whom they work. This model of service actually transforms communities and allows others to flourish rather than becoming dependent on temporary aid efforts. My experience with SStS helped me decide on my undergraduate degree in social work, my master’s degree in leadership and impacted my career in development where I work shoulder-to-shoulder with immigrants and refugees in Spain.
