I am so thankful for the doors KCCA opened for me through all 4 years of working towards my mechanical engineering degree. Your belief in me and support gave me the confidence to take classes I might not have otherwise pursued, the reassurance I needed to focus fully on my studies, and the freedom to gain valuable experience through summer internships, even as I navigated the challenges of growing up without my father.

I know he would have been happy that I could be in a field using my hands and my mind. These opportunities helped me develop the skills that led to a career now in aerospace as a manufacturing engineer and part of a team bringing rocket designs to life.
