Why did you join HYAB?
“As a recent graduate in 2022, I feel obligated to be active in the community as well as involved within the UTK system. As I was scanning social media, I ventured onto this opportunity, and it aligned with my values. The ability to be on a committee while involved with the University of Tennessee was something that excites me, and especially being on a community that has influence. The ability to join a mentoring circle and use my platform within the network gives me the chance to outreach to new graduates as well as learn from others in my industry.”
