"At first, I was skeptical - there's no way that I could ever win one of these! It all sounded way too good to be true.

Then I won a free trip to EGYPT! I attended the World Youth Forum and spent time in the beautiful city of Sharm El Sheikh. The trip was truly something that I'll always cherish. I'm forever grateful to Gabby for this experience and am so excited to watch her grow her platform and her reach.

I've continued to apply to opportunities since I went to Egypt and was a finalist in both an AirBnB Competition that took folks to Italy for free for 5 weeks, and a Russian Exchange program. I have gained so much confidence in applying to just about everything."
