Jeremy Heckman has had a busy, productive and successful year - and it’s not even over yet! Jeremy successfully completed the Hopeworks training, an internship with the Web Department, received his high school diploma and has now entered the IT field with a full time job!
During our first ever ABS graduation this year, Jeremy spoke about the excitement of receiving his diploma, moving on into the professional world and what it all means for him.

Jeremy has always been interested in web development, software, and coding and dreamed of working as an IT specialist. His hard work, dedication and ability to juggle everything happening in his life have made that happen.
