We hate saying goodbye to our summer intern from the @therileyfoundation, Christina Mogollon! 👩🏽‍💻 Christina is a Meridian native and a nursing student at UWA where she is an orientation leader, cheerleader + member of Phi Mu Fraternity.

"Even though I am going to school for nursing, I wanted to work at The MAX this summer because I thought it be a great opportunity for me to learn more about Mississippi and working with a diverse group of professionals in a really cool place. Everyone was amazing and I'm so thankful I was given the opportunity," said Christina. There's no doubt she will go far and we’re so excited to see what she'll accomplish!
