Jumpstart Alumni Celebrations

Earlier this month, we asked Jumpstart alumni to share exciting life updates and accomplishments—all in an effort to recognize our talented Jumpstart alumni and spread joy in our community. We heard so many great updates—ranging from new jobs to advanced degrees to marriage—and are excited to get the chance to share them!
