Ana Grace Brooks is an Associate in Arts student planning to transfer to a four-year institution to pursue a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in occupational therapy. “If I can combine psychology with helping people physically, I can help them better their life,” she said.

Brooks came to Mitchell upon her mother’s recommendation and quickly fell in love with the campus and the close-knit environment. “Everyone is so nice and helpful,” she noted. “I developed a strong trust in the teachers. It’s a very family-like environment.” She is honored to receive the All-USA nomination and credits the faculty and staff at Mitchell for helping her along her journey. “I’ve always had a strong determination to succeed,” she said, “and Mitchell has pushed me and helped me to achieve my goals.”
