My name is Michelle, I’m a 21 year old student in my junior year studying Health Sciences at UMass Boston. I grew up in the South shore and moved to Dorchester for School. Currently I work two jobs- I’m an Assistant Coordinator for New Student Programs at the School and I’m a Direct Care Associate for Family Aid Boston. With These jobs I’m able to outreach to our local community so I really enjoy them. I’m a believer in hard work and passion for whatever you do so I try to make it a point to only do what matters to me. The picture above is from a service trip I did a year ago. I went to Puerto Rico with ten other students and we worked on a farm to learn about self-sustainability. In this picture we were on a hike through a jungle that ended in us diving off a cliff into water and I absolutely loved it! I have two sisters; Sarah who is 25 and Megan who is my twin sister. They live back home so I try to see them when I can. I would say if I had to identify myself as anything it would be a caregiver. I have an incredible amount of love and consideration to give to those around me, and I consider my friendships the most important thing in my life. Overall I just feel like I have a lot to offer those who show the same kindness I show them and because of that I’m excited to get to know the Kenya Heart & Sole Team!
