I can say with confidence that Mr. Ashwood made me realize more of my potential with his Home Equity Theft project. He has given me more than just any typical summer internship. He has shown me potential and principles that I will take with me into law school and beyond.

As a Chinese native, and writing from China now, I appreciated the opportunity to intern at BRAVE where I learned a lot about non-profit contributions and how I was able to make an impact through my work with them.

Leroy is not only a great mentor who helped me overcome many difficult times, but also has become a lifetime friend who supports all my career and life choices.

Being part of the BRAVE for Veterans team has been instrumental in my academic and professional career. After graduating with my B.A., Leroy supported me in helping with application materials to the Heller School, recommendations for my first post-graduate employment with a law firm, and then eventually with materials and recommendation letters for law school.

I’m glad that I seized this great opportunity five years ago to work with a nonprofit organization that’s defined by its strong sense of mission and Leroy’s attentive mentorship for all of his interns.

This valuable experience has broadened my vision and inspired me to continue serving communities that deserve more support in our society.
