“ I applied for the position and reached out to IINSPIRE LSAMP for funding during my Summer REU and my school year. It helped me in deciding which career path I wanted to take. After the research during the summer, I got multiple interviews and was offered internship positions from 2 companies. IINSPIRE LSAMP has supported and has guided me to become what I am today! I am extremely grateful for being a part of the program.”
