As the DREAMS program's faculty coordinator, I cannot express how transformative this experience has been for me. The program's emphasis on leadership, interpersonal, and personal development skills has assisted me in developing skills necessary for my role as a teacher and mentor. Being a part of this program has also provided me with an exceptional opportunity to positively impact the lives of school students. I've had the pleasure of watching students discover their strengths and develop essential skills that will help them succeed in all aspects of life through the DREAMS program. It allowed me to positively impact lives and community, while also expanding my collaboration network, research and publication opportunities. My goal for the DREAMS program is to broaden its reach and impact. The program has the potential to benefit even more students and communities worldwide, and I am excited to be a part of making that vision a reality. This program has taught me much about myself, my community, and the power of mentoring and leadership. Although there have been difficulties along the way, they have only reinforced my belief in the importance of this program and its ability to effect positive change in the world.
