Tatiana is an eclectic youth with interests ranging from wellness and nutrition to art to community engagement to music. Through her involvement with the Club, she has flourished, socially, emotionally, and academically—from making friendships that will last a lifetime to setting new goals for herself to developing college and workforce readiness skills. Tatiana is a natural leader, a young woman with strong ethics, the ability to communicate clearly, and seemingly immune to peer pressure. She embodies the true purpose of the Boys & Girls Club, enabling all young people –especially those who need us most—to reach their full potential as productive, responsible, and caring citizens of the communities we serve.
Tatiana plans to pursue a career in healthcare and will begin attending Rutgers University in the 2020-21 school year.
"Ever since stepping into the Club 8 years ago, my life has been positively impacted through continuous mentorship and support. The Club is like a tree that flourishes with opportunity and I am profoundly grateful to be able to represent an organization that gives back to the community endlessly. Not only did the Boys and Girls club provide me with a multitude of resources, from emotional support to college prep to music classes, but they encouraged me to dream bigger. No amount of gratitude or thanks can compare to all the Club has given me."
