Adalyn is currently a master’s student at the University of Oregon, who is currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Advertising and Brand Responsibility , which is a 10-month program in order to fulfill her dream of promoting mental health and the importance in business. “Mental health and emotional well-being are deeply important to me. I believe we all have a responsibility to leave the world better than we found it, and I want to contribute by using my creativity, empathy, and communication skills to help others feel seen, supported, and valued. Through advertising, I hope to create messaging that is inclusive, ethical, and empowering, especially for communities that have been historically overlooked or misrepresented.

Receiving this grant meant more to me than financial support, it made me feel seen, encouraged, and motivated. Being included in the broader mission of Trace of Hope is truly meaningful. Hearing the emphasis on generosity and community during our conversation was incredibly moving and reinforced my desire to continue giving back through my work and future career. It inspired me to pursue a path that is about impact and service, not just personal success.”
