The Elevation Scholars Program is a community-based organization that serves high-performing students from high-need families, that have demonstrated community impact. Vanessa has won our highest honor, the Elevation Scholars Award, which is a selective award recognizing students who demonstrate our program core values of kindness, service, leadership and discipline. Vanessa is secure with who she is. A first-generation Haitian-American, Vanessa has had to deal with the generational and cultural gap between her and her parents by learning to make choices that best fit. When dealing with tough times, she reminds herself that she must stay strong and continues to stretch herself academically and personally. Vanessa is an exceptional leader that exhibits characteristics that point to a positive trajectory. I am confident she will be an asset to any company or organization.
