“I first met Alana many years ago when she was my high school counselor, and she has been instrumental in shaping the path I’m on today. As a first-generation college student, I had no one to guide me through financial aid, grants, or the college application process—until I met Alana. She is both compassionate and determined, someone who sees your potential and refuses to let you settle for less. With her unwavering support and encouragement, I never doubted my ability to achieve my goals.
