Yesterday our AAN team had the joy of celebrating Jada, who has spent the spring semester serving as an intern with our Families for Kids Program. As an HDFS student at Bowling Green State University, Jada has brought compassion, energy, and dedication to every project she touched.

This summer, she’ll be graduating and beginning an exciting new chapter as she moves to Germany with her husband, who serves in the military.

Jada, we are so grateful for your hard work and heart. Congratulations — and we wish you all the best on your next adventure!
