“I started working at Holmes as a work-study in the business office,” Jenkins said. “I think I knew then that this was where I belong. When I began working in financial aid, it was like we did not skip a beat. I instantly felt the impact this school and all the people here would have on my life. I feel extremely blessed to have the opportunity to grow in my role at Holmes and to be a part of the students’ path to success.”
