As part of our Operation Graduate program, we welcomed a panel of professionals to Casa Hope to discuss how they chose their careers and share the challenges they overcame to pursue them.
One of the best parts of this event was seeing Iran Armando Pool Kumul, a member of the very first class of Michael Lotito Fellows, up on the panel! He graduated with a degree in tourism business management and development, and he shared with the students that the lessons he learned at Hands Offering Hope were a huge part of pushing him to where he is now.
It was so awesome to have these professionals at Casa Hope, and we hope our students believe that if our panelists can do it, so can they!
