I’m within two short weeks of officially beginning my fellowship! I can’t wait! My passion for teaching students in elementary school about financial literacy and global awareness will get my full attention this summer as a Kenan Fellow!
Lukas Brun has agreed to be one of my mentors. I am meeting with him this Friday. Look at his amazing bio!
LUKAS BRUN
