Meet Shenikah Williams
The Actuarial Foundation’s generosity has inspired me to help others and give back to the community. I hope one day I will help students achieve their goals just as you have helped me. After I graduate, I plan to become an Actuarial Analyst and gain my FCAS designation, but knowing that people care to invest in my path makes it even more motivating to continue my goals."
