From the product of the Santa Ana public school system, Stephen experienced firsthand the struggle of being a first-generation college student. However, he finished strong with a degree in Business Economics from UCLA.
“Project SELF taught me that I can earn my seat at the table. I recognize that not everyone will have someone like I did to tell them that they are destined for greatness. I believe in Project SELF because the people in involved in Project SELF believe in me.”
Stephen credits Project SELF for giving him access to doors he could never have opened himself.
