Hopeworks alumni Leea Kelly recently joined us in our Kensington AND Camden locations to host back to back “Listen and Learn” sessions! Leea is currently a Traffic Data Analyst at Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission and was pivotal in contributing to many projects in our GIS department during her time here.
“I really can't fully express how much Hopeworks changed my life and how grateful I am to have been a part of it. Coming back was like coming home after being away for too long.”
Not only is she using her time to share valuable information to our young adults, but is also advocating for them to get permanent jobs in her field. Being able to see our alumni succeed and then pay it forward, to honor the opportunities they’ve received is an amazing feeling.
Leea was also recently featured in ArcUser Magazine with Esri discussing her journey to GIS and how to follow her path!
