<div>Hello! My name is Stephanie Kierski, I am a recent University of Delaware graduate with a Bachelor's in Nutrition and Dietetics, currently pursuing my Master's degree in Functional Nutrition. This summer, I obtained my National Board certification for Health and Wellness Coaching! My end goal is to become a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with a focus on diabetes prevention, health behavior change strategies, and sustainable weight management. Once I complete my Master's degree this December, I will be applying to the Baylor Medical Center in Dallas, Texas for the final step of my education; a 10-month dietetic internship, with over 1200 hours of supervised practice. These internships are unpaid and require a full-time schedule, in this case, I would not have any form of income until my internship is completed.

<div>My family came to this country with nothing, starting both of their businesses on their own with no prior experience. They want to see me become a professional more than anything in the world. I have watched my family undergo so much financial hardship growing up, and once I started college after the pandemic, we have not been able to fully recover. My parents have supported me in every possible way on this journey and I could never find the words to express how grateful I am for their constant effort and commitment to me and my education. With that being said, I cannot find it in my heart to ask them for more, and I have been doing as much as I can to afford my post-graduate education on my own. I have worked 3 jobs every summer and worked throughout all 4 years of college to save up for this exact moment. Unfortunately, the cost of graduate school and the internship combined have taken up nearly all of my savings.

</div>
<div>My goal is $5,000 to offset the cost of living and moving, such as food, rent, utilities, furniture, textbooks/materials, and any other expenses I may have during my internship in the Spring.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I truly thank anyone who is able to help support my future goals and I hope one day I can return the favor in supporting you in your health!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With love and gratitude,
</div>
<div>Stephanie
