Xenia, 20 years old, CA

Xenia is a shy and quiet young person who has a great sense of humor, an incredible loyalty to her friends, and a deep desire to disrupt cycles of generational trauma. She has a history of foster care throughout her school years and has been impacted by a lack of resources and financial security. She struggled with school engagement in the past due to the impact of moving between schools while in the foster care system. She turned things around and made large strides in attendance, engagement with friends, and connecting with adults on the school campus. She is an incredibly thoughtful, kind-hearted, and intelligent person.
