JPP Success Stories
"Thank you JPP for letting me see the potential I really did have and giving me the motivation to act on it!"
Rhiannon, JPP Graduate
Rhiannon is a mother of two wonderful boys, an active volunteer, an artist, and a graduate of the Colorado School of Mines Engineering Physics program. She began her journey with JPP in 2015. She had just moved back to Colorado to be closer to family and enrolled her youngest son into Head Start in Wheat Ridge.
Rhiannon’s persistence and determination, along with the support of family, friends, and local organizations have helped her design and achieve lofty goals while caring for her children and giving back to the community. Rhiannon is passionate about encouraging others to push through obstacles, surpass their limitations, and become all that they are made to be.
In 2023, Rhiannon graduated from the School of Mines with her Master's in Applied Optical Physics and accepted a position at Lockheed Martin. Her goal is to work locally in the optics industry while continuing to volunteer at her church and stay involved in both of her boy's academic and extracurricular pursuits.
