Hello! I am entering my first year of clinical social work education at Smith College. It has been a long and difficult journey to reach this choice because it is a decision I take very seriously.

One of the more stressful parts of what I'm going to embark on is financial hardship. I'm very honored that Smith awarded me with a Social Justice Award and Merit Scholarship. But, even after that help, I'll be borrowing large loans and working part-time to live and service my existing debt.

I've never used this app before for my own funding projects, but I have contributed to my friends' trips and other financial ventures. I like this site because it's like a community based effort where people get to take turns reaching out for help. Asking for help is a muscle I want to flex more and more.

I'd appreciate any contribution, which will go straight toward my books and moving expenses.

Thank you!!
