February 2023 Update
Dear John,

Hope your January went well! We at Momentum Education have been busy and are excited to share our progress. 

Firstly, Momentum Education is growing; we just added another employee, Maeli Milan. We are officially introducing her in the "Team Member of the Month" section of our Newsletter.  
We are excited to have her on the team to help us increase the support for our high school students. Ultimately, Maeli will help us ensure 100% of our students graduate from high school, graduate from college, and secure a job in the middle class. 

Secondly, we are focused on ensuring every single student receives the individualized support they need. While this, of course, includes mentorship, it also includes wraparound services. This month, one of our college students notified us that she would like to learn more about medicine. We connected her with a Pediatric Neurologist, Dr. Ekta Bery. Dr. Bery had a phone conversation with her and provided her with valuable information about the pathway to becoming a doctor. This level of personal support is the hallmark of Momentum Education, and we will maintain this level of service as we continue to serve more and more students. 

Finally, we are now providing monthly mentorship and enrichment services (including essay and resume feedback, connections to scholarships and summer programs, and exposure to various careers) to 650 students. 

Thank you for joining us on this journey, and thank you for sharing your advice with us. Please email me anytime at [email protected] or call or text me at 713-320-0303 to share ideas and feedback. 

Thank you, and let's keep building #OneMomentumFamily!

Momentum Education has also helped me communicate with professionals in the field, which has been the most beneficial in the long run. I'm truly grateful for the help I've been given by Momentum Education." Thank you, Katelyn, for letting us be a part of your journey!

Pranjal Sheth is a college sophomore looking to move into Energy Transaction Finance. He is currently a part-time analyst at Hastings Equity Partners and will be with Mizuho Securities in their Investment Baking Division in the Summer of 2023. He has been a part of Momentum Education since his senior year of high school and when asked about his experience with Momentum Education he shared, "Momentum Education has mentored me throughout the years. I am not on weekly calls with them, however, they are there when I need help networking, and when I need guidance or advice they provide me with resources to help in any situation. The close-knit nature of the organization has even allowed me to meet Raj, the CEO, which is something that would be impossible in other organizations, and that sort of familial culture is what keeps me within the community it has built now. I would recommend Momentum Education to anyone I know" Thank you, Pranjal, for sharing your journey with us and for allowing us to be a part of it.
