The Woman Behind Seeds of Fortune
“A Posse Leadership Scholar at Babson College
on a $250,000 scholarship graduating in 2014.
I believed it was my duty to help ease the financial burdens of those in my generation;
so I created a scholarship program to help teen girls obtain local and national scholarships”
