iHOPE MCCC

We are incredibly proud to recognize our iHOPE Community Support Associate, Kiana Marsillett, for earning a place on the Dean’s List! 🎉📚

Kiana’s dedication, compassion, and hard work shine not only in her academic achievements, but also in the support she provides to the youth and families we serve each day through the iHOPE Program. While balancing school, work, and being a wonderful mother to her two beautiful sons at home, she continues to demonstrate determination, resilience, and heart in everything she does.

Balancing higher education, motherhood, and a helping profession is no small accomplishment, and we are so proud to celebrate this milestone with her.

Congratulations, Kiana! Your iHOPE family is cheering you on and cannot wait to see all the amazing things you continue to accomplish. 💙💚
