“NMSHSA helped me break my own barriers and gave me the confidence to continue to pursue my passion in education. Being able to come from a small town into our nation’s capital was a phenomenal experience that I wouldn’t change for the world. I am excited to see NMSHSA grow in the next couple years and will always support them as they continue to empower other students in the migrant community like me.”
