Help Candace Do Study Abroad in Italy

Greetings! I'm Candace Kearse, a dedicated graduate student at Gonzaga University, currently pursuing a Master's in Communication and Leadership with a focus on Digital Media Studies. Maintaining a stellar 4.0 GPA, I am on track to graduate in spring 2025.

I am seeking support for an exciting opportunity that aligns with my academic and professional aspirations—a study abroad program in Florence Italy, centered around Renascence Leadership and Community Development.

Throughout my professional journey, I've been privileged to collaborate on impactful projects as a marketing communications specialist for the past decade. This experience, as well as my volunteer work in local communities, has fueled my passion for working with small businesses, community leaders, nonprofit organizations, and entrepreneurs.

I am driven by a desire to contribute positively to communities and individuals, and this study abroad program offers a unique chance to deepen my understanding of how I can achieve this goal.

Your support will play a crucial role in helping me seize this educational opportunity. By contributing to my campaign, you're not just supporting my personal goals; you're investing in the potential positive impact I can make in the realm of community development and leadership. Whether big or small, every donation is genuinely appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and considering a contribution to my cause. Your generosity will help shape my educational journey and, ultimately, contribute to creating positive change in the communities I aspire to serve. Wishing you a fantastic day, and thanks for being part of my journey!
