Hello there!
My name is Breauna and I am a summer intern here with Connections to Success. I will also be a senior at The University of Alabama, majoring in African American studies with a minor in sociology – Roll Tide!
Community service is a passion of mine. It brings a smile to my face to always help those in need, whether the task is big or small. Over time I have come to realize that community service can take on different forms, such as teaching. As an example, I have the privilege working with various individuals from different countries and cultures as I tutor them in the English language. While at the university I practice my passion within my job, in school clubs and even during my spare time.
Connections to Success was first brought to my attention by my mom, and as I did more research I found that we share similar values and goals, i.e., inclusion, leadership and collaboration. With a major such as African American studies there are endless routes that I can take, so much so that it can be a bit overwhelming. However, the staff at Connections has been incredibly supportive and have provided me with a variety of options that I can apply my major to. This is only the beginning and I am elated to work with such an enthusiastic team.
