Congratulations to our very own Sanaa Igbokwe, who has just been hired full-time as a Technology Innovator by our partners at Launchpad! We're so proud to see your growth and the direction you're taking your career, Sanna!
Sanaa is a college graduate of Syracuse University with a B.S in Applied Data Analytics. They joined Hopeworks during a transitional period after graduation, while looking to expand their educational and career prospects. Now, Sanaa has a full-time job, working towards financial stability, and becoming a self-sufficient young professional.
