SEA 1st year of HCC
The first year Valley Professionals brought HCC on board I was chosen as an SEA. At first I was overwhelmed with the thought of having to speak in front of groups but that was quickly pushed aside as we were taught not to be scared. I believe the experience with HCC helped me grow as a person and brought out my voice.
