Students were inspired by Victoria’s personal perspective as shared by one of the students: “Thank you so much for bringing the guest speaker during last night’s class session. Ms. Elie provided a lot of valuable information and motivated me personally to keep hustling. Ms. Elie is a great example of that hard work always pays off.” - Anastasia Sendzik ’20
