I am thrilled to be the new director of VHCC’s Upward Bound Program. As a native to Southwest Virginia and the first in my family to graduate from college, I can’t wait to work alongside you to learn all about your college goals and career dreams. I can’t wait to see you at an Upward Bound activity real soon. ��
