Emma was a passionate 11th grader with a keen interest in food insecurity and health education. She sought a mentor who could help her channel her creativity into a meaningful project that would raise awareness and inspire others. Emma needed guidance in project development and a supportive figure to help her navigate her ideas and challenges effectively.
