It’s a bittersweet moment for TIP.

After 3 years as our office assistant, Anthony Almanza has graduated from Emory University with a degree in Neuroscience! 🎓 Anthony has been our longest-tenured work-study student and is known for being proactive, dependable, and eager. He always brought new perspectives and a positive attitude to every project he worked on. Originally from a small town in Eastern North Carolina, Anthony says his family played a big role in shaping who he is today. He especially credits his mother for teaching him important life lessons. “My mom has been the most influential in my life because she taught me a lot of the values I have now,” Anthony said. “I value time, family, conservation, peace, and happiness.” He is the kind of person we need more of in this world. Although Anthony has graduated, he is not done learning. He plans to work for a few years before going back to school to pursue his master’s degree. From all of us at TIP: thank you, Anthony, for your hard work and dedication over the past three years! Your reliability, strong work ethic, and kindness have made a lasting impact. 👏 👏 👏
