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.
This is what Hopeworks is all about!
“Once I graduated, had no idea how I was going to enter into the workforce with all of my authenticity intact. I wanted to pave a path that felt right for me. Forming meaningful connections is what I know best, so I went outside to find community, share my vulnerability, and learn what resources are out there for people like me.
The most valuable thing I learned while at Hopeworks was how strong my drive and dedication truly is. I often struggle with feeling satisfied with my successes (and I still do), but with the right support I am able to reassure myself and feel confidence in my endeavors.”
