Hi! My name is Sonce Reese and I am a Class 6 alum and Class 7’s On-Site coordinator. I graduated from UB in Spring 2015, with a Bachelor’s degree in Forensics and am now\u00a0working\u00a0towards a Masters in Global Affairs and Human Security.<\/p>\n
LeaderShape:\u00a0I had never heard of LeaderShape and didn’t even know what the program was about, but thought it would be\u00a0a great opportunity to build up my leadership skills, so I signed up. Keeping an open mind, I signed up for the program. LeaderShape, for me, was transformational.\u00a0My vision, to fill the 16,000 vacant homes in Baltimore City, was met with encouragement, support\u00a0and probing questions, such as “How will\u00a0this vision be completed?” and “Is it even possible?”\u00a0I was\u00a0more determined and more inspired than I had ever been before. I met and interacted with some wonderful people whose visions I support and who support mine. My vision, which hangs on my wall in my home office, has evolved to include creating healthy, vibrant communities, but fill vacant home In Baltimore City is still my top priority.<\/p>\n
I am pleased to travel on this journey with you and will be with you until your LeaderShape graduation next\u00a0semester. Looking forward to your posts and a great year with you!<\/p>\n
