“Families are essentially what helps a child develop to the best of their abilities,” Keyly Sandoval said. “I don’t come from a perfect family, no one really does. I wanted to be able to have the knowledge to help other families.”

Sandoval is scheduled to receive her degree during the commencement ceremony for the College of Health and Human Development on Sunday, May 19. In the meantime, she’s studying for the LSATs.
