Behind every big idea, there’s often someone who encouraged it. 💜

For high school student Michelle Pera, that person was Alfred University professor Dr. Holly Shulman.

What began with one email grew into a mentorship and months of hands-on research, with Alfred University ceramic engineering student Holly Lyimo also lending her knowledge and support along the way. Sometimes, all it takes is one connection to see how far an idea can go. 🚀
