"York College gave me the confidence to be more outgoing and take risks without worrying about failing. It gave me an education, lifelong friendships I treasure to this day, and a direction and focus in life. YCP is where I learned that I didn’t need to be a teacher, a nurse, or a finance person. I could combine all my skills and create what I wanted to be."

Current City: East Brunswick, NJ
