Psychology, B.S. | Stay-at-Home Mom and Kids
of Steele Executive Board Member | Tucson
Learning Together: My experiences as a nontraditional student and
single mom made the UA special. I appreciated the opportunity to
take my oldest daughter with me to classes on occasion.
Founding Kids of Steele: We started in 2010 with five people and
$500. We now have 100 member families, and this year we passed
the $500,000 mark for donations to the Steele Children’s Research
Center.
The Arts at UA: We love taking our kids to Premium Blend and UA
Presents. This quality of performance would be difficult to experience
without the university.
A Steele Center Family: In 2012 our middle daughter, who was 9
months old, started losing weight despite being introduced to food.
Dr. Fayez Ghishan, the UA Steele Children’s Research Center director,
diagnosed her with severe celiac disease. Now her condition is well
controlled and she is thriving. We are grateful to Dr. Ghishan and will
continue to support the Steele Center and its mission.
