Nico Hodel . . . email . . . Co-Founder at Start It Up NYC | Web Developer | Content Marketing Professional | Startup Events Producer | Speaker:
High School is a place where you start to define what’s important to you, learn what you value, and begin to carve out an identity for yourself based on how you treat others.
Beyond just textbooks and academic knowledge, it taught me that learning how to build relationships with mentors and foster genuine friendships is a skill that overarches all others, and one you can bring into any environment to thrive and grow.
I’m very grateful for my experience at ULS, and always looking for ways to give back.

Kelly Viernes . . . email . . . Since graduating from ULS, I’ve lived in Eugene, Lesotho, and now Portland. I currently work as an Occupational Therapy Aide part-time while attending school full-time to be an Occupational Therapy Assistant. I teach Vinyasa yoga for fun and spend most of my free time biking.
My Peace Corps experience was a significant part of my life, where I worked with teenage mothers that shifted my perspective on foreign aid and relations. Lesotho is a small country landlocked inside of South Africa. It’s also known as the “mountain kingdom,” having the highest low point of any country. I was a health volunteer that worked in a boarding school for teenage mothers. I was also an educational resource within my village on HIV/AIDS. Lesotho at that time had the second highest HIV/AIDS prevalence in the world. I worked with the local community to reduce HIV stigma, adhere to HIV medication, and follow HIV prevention strategies while still honoring Basotho (people of Lesotho) customs and culture. I served there from 2015-2017.
It wasn’t that long ago, but it’s easy to forget how meaningful of an experience it was to live there. They’re going through a very hard time during this pandemic since the majority of people there already lack vital resources, like drinkable water for example. Any nutritional-based donations to Lesotho are needed. (05.20)
