"The NMSHSA internship came to me at a vital time in my college career. The structure provided a space for self-evaluation which led to a re-invigoration of my passion to pursue my higher education. The people are what make this program successful- the leadership, mentors, and peers I connected with in this program helped me “paint the bigger picture” and come to some important realizations about the abilities and potential that are a result of the hard-working farmworker mentality".
