Ayub Abraham Flores, a student from Holmes High School, visited Vibrant Works today to meet with our Assistive Technology Specialist Christian Sanchez. As part of a mentorship program, Christian has been guiding Ayub as he explores a career in assistive technology.? “I encouraged Ayub to set his goals and keep following his dreams. We may have a disability, but there’s always something to help us—we just have to keep striving,” Christian shared. “It’s fulfilling to mentor others interested in the same work I do and help them reach their goals.” We’re proud of Christian’s dedication to helping students like Ayub take the next step in their careers.??? #Mentorship #AssistiveTechnology #VibrantWorks
