“Meet Joan, a Project PEARLS scholar since grade school, now a 3rd-year college student pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management.
At a recent career talk for Project PEARLS college scholars, hosted by Genesys, Joan showed me a photo of us from when she was in 6th grade.
She shared that she has kept it in her wallet all these years as a reminder that she has a “Mommy Melissa” who believes in her.” – Melissa Villa, Founder & Executive Director
