UC Master of Public Health alumni Kaycie Gardner has been named a Rising Star at YWCA! When asked about the achievement, she stated "Being named a YWCA Rising Star is such an honor. Those who know the YWCA's work know to what extent they place importance upon equity in all spaces. I look forward to learning more about how to prioritize equity in my own future leadership roles. Since graduation, I have continued to grow in my role at Caracole where I assist in the management of our emergency financial assistance program. I hope to continue to grow within the organization and improve upon my devotion to equity within public health." Congratulations, Kaycie!
