Leap Pathway - Evelyn perez landron

[MUSIC PLAYING] Entering Mount Holyoke, I knew that, by the time I left these gates, I was going to gain a voice that other women won't be able to have. I feel like being at a woman's college, it gave me that special experience. My interest overall is working for nonprofit organizations and kind of figuring out the rights of young girls and women, especially in human trafficking and sex slavery. This past summer, I interned in Morocco. I had the opportunity to not only work for a nonprofit organization, but I also worked for a for-profit organization as well. One of the biggest things for me was, no matter where in the world I went-- whether it be through study abroad or even my internships abroad, that Mount Holyoke was with me everywhere I went. I had the opportunity to meet so many alums, whether it be on an airplane, in the airport, or just walking around through the cities of Casablanca or even in Marrakesh. And I knew that MoHome was with me. And I knew that I had the classes and the skill set to know that I can apply all of the things that I got here just through my professors or even through my colleagues, that I'll be OK when I leave the gates this year.
