The AA degree I got at NWIC has opened doors for me. NWIC’s Swinomish Site has impacted my life in such a good way that the people in my community recognize me as a young leader.
While I was finishing my AA, I was able to get a job as the assistant editor for the Keeyoks newsletter. Although my career right now is as an Assistant Editor, I have other passions for the environment and through NWIC, I am able to keep pursuing my education in the BS program.
I plan on finishing this program so that I can give back to my Swinomish community.
