ALEXANDRA SALINAS

“I am a current partner at Starbucks…[and] an undergraduate at Cal Poly Pomona as a Finance, Real Estate, and Law Major. I have chosen to pursue Accounting and will be a future Certified Public Accountant. I cannot thank LIF [enough] for giving students these opportunities. I am grateful for everyone involved in this process.”

Stephanie ruiz farias

I am a 2nd year UCLA undergraduate student…majoring in Sociology and minoring in Accounting. I have learned that there will be many rejections in life, but it is up to me if I will let that dictate the rest of my future and capability of persevering. It is so easy to feel like giving up, but I always like to remind myself that everything happens for a reason, and I know that a better opportunity is always awaiting.
