Congratulations to Makena Jordan, our Arizona Sports Character Counts Scholarship recipient.
Makena’s story is one of resilience, leadership, compassion, and service. From volunteering with Phoenix Children’s and Ronald McDonald House Charities to conducting pancreatic cancer research through the TGen Bioscience Leadership Academy, she’s already making a meaningful impact in the lives of others.
After overcoming a serious MRSA infection as a child, Makena discovered a passion for healthcare and helping people through some of life’s most difficult moments. Today, she continues to turn that experience into action through service, leadership, academics, and athletics.
We’re proud to celebrate students like Makena who are making a difference both inside and outside the classroom.
