✨ Alumni Spotlight ✨

Meet Ina Alvarado, an incredible BroadFutures alum from our Summer 2024 cohort, where she interned with The AES Corporation.

Originally from Houston, Texas, Ina is heading into her senior year at Colby College, where she is preparing for a senior honors thesis in the Spanish department focused in early childhood literature. In the future, she hopes to get a PhD in early childhood education with a focus in disability studies!

Her biggest BroadFutures takeaway? It is never too late to advocate for yourself. And her advice to current interns? Do not let anything stop you. You deserve space and time, so take it!

Ina's journey is a powerful reminder that impact does not end when a program does.
