How did Pima/UArizona program support and contribute to your success as you pursued STEM at UArizona?

I had people hold me accountable for my grades. The scholarship also helped so I didn't need to work and could still afford to go to school. Having access to a refrigerator was also great and helped me save money because I could bring my own food from home.

How did receiving mentoring support from a STEM faculty member positively contribute to your success in STEM as a student at UArizona?

The mentors not only held me accountable but were very encouraging when I got discouraged.

How did the mentoring you received in the Pima/UArizona STEM Bridge program positively contribute to your overall STEM identity and career goals?

I think so. I was encouraged to take on research, but due to time restraints, I wasn't able to. If I had another year, I would have been more serious about research.

Tell us about your post-graduation plans, what are your post-graduation plans, and how did the Pima/UArizona STEM Bridge program support these future endeavors?

I am going to be looking for a job. The Pima/UArizona Bridge program was very supportive of my decision.
