Sara O & Edward Thomas Family Scholarship
Andrea Inestroza (Jimenez)
Andrea is a leader among her peers. She is friendly, kind, and deeply passionate about helping others. Her maturity is evident in the way she handles conflict and supports those around her. Andrea was nominated to participate in our peer mediation program early in her 11th-grade year and has continued serving in this role throughout her senior year. During this time, she has been an active participant and has consistently demonstrated the skills, empathy, and maturity needed to help peers resolve conflicts peacefully and constructively. In this role, she is thoughtful and reflective, asking meaningful questions that guide peers toward understanding and resolution.
In addition to her leadership and service to others, Andrea is also enrolled in the Nursing Assistant program. She recently passed her CNA exam and will graduate with her Certified Nursing Assistant certificate, an accomplishment that will support her entry into the medical field.

Nathasha is so well deserving of this scholarship- she is a driven leader on and off the court.
