The Lynch Family Legacy Scholarship enabled me to pursue enriching experiences in college that wouldn't have otherwise been financially possible - most notably studying abroad at Oxford University and in Benin and undertaking an unpaid summer internship in Washington DC. Those experiences led me to a career in international development and a Masters in Public Affairs at Princeton University. I am so grateful that the Lynch Family Legacy Scholarship enabled me to pursue these interests, passions, and a career in public service.
