What does Upward Bound mean to you? How has it changed you overall?
Being a UB grad, Upward Bound is a support system from high school through college. It helped me see the opportunities available to me and taught me the importance of a college education.

What influenced/inspired you to become a teacher?
I am not a teacher, but working for Upward Bound allows me to give back to the Program, students, and wonderful staff who have contributed to the successes in my life.
