"Washington is a city where you are surrounded by the action of change, where decisions are made, ideas are tested, and the future is shaped. Being there reminded me that I want to be part of that energy and continue contributing to work that drives impact. 

Looking back, UCDC wasn’t just a semester away; it was the experience that gave me clarity, community, and courage to chase a career of purpose and impact."
