“Coming from a low-income background and identifying as a first-generation student, I never imagined I’d be conducting research, let alone presenting at a national conference. Professor Matthew Grace was the first person to really believe I could tackle such a sphere, and it was his guidance, and support from the POSSE community, that enabled me to believe in myself as well.
