✨ Alumni Spotlight ✨

Meet Ina Alvarado, an incredible BroadFutures alum from our Summer 2024 cohort, where she interned with The AES Corporation.

Originally from Houston, Texas, Ina is heading into her senior year at Colby College, where she is preparing for a senior honors thesis in the Spanish department focused in early childhood literature. In the future, she hopes to get a PhD in early childhood education with a focus in disability studies!

Her biggest BroadFutures takeaway? It is never too late to advocate for yourself. And her advice to current interns? Do not let anything stop you. You deserve space and time, so take it!

Ina's journey is a powerful reminder that impact does not end when a program does.

Inclusive workplaces create ripple effects far beyond a single hire.

Join us on June 17 at 12 PM ET for Ripples in the Workplace: How Neuro-Inclusive Practices Transform Teams— a conversation on workplace culture, inclusive supervision, and the real impact of neuro-inclusive practices.

Part of our Ripples of Impact webinar series. 🌊

The ripple effects are just beginning. 🌊
