• Minasdine Rene

    I’m the Founder of Reaching for Success. I graduated from Fairfield University with my Bachelor’s in Nursing. This program was created to help students reach their highest potential. It is a passion of mine to use my knowledge and ability to continuously help others. This program does just that. We work with you to help you achieve your dreams, with less debt, more clarity and without losing yourself in the process. Whatever it is that you want to pursue in life, as long as it benefits you, we’ll support you in every way we can.

    I’m a Reaching for Success Board member. I’m also a Physician Assistant and I am excited and blessed to be a part of an organization that can help students achieve success in and out of the classroom. My background allows me to bring a fresh perspective to the organization with the hopes of helping students reach their goals.

  • Phederine Lyra

    I’m part of the Reaching for Success organization. I graduated from the University of Connecticut in 2018, and I obtained a Marketing degree with a concentration in Digital Marketing and Analytics. I am ecstatic to be part of this organization designed to help others in my position. As a first-generation university graduate, I was faced with many challenges, and I had to make sure I knew where my resources were located. Working with Minasdine and Jonathan has been exciting because we have three dissimilar educational/career backgrounds, and we each found different ways to fund our education. We all provide the students with different perspectives and views on their paths to higher education.
