Meet our 2023-2024 SOHO Intern, Michelle Lopez Hi, my name is Michelle and I joined SOHO in 2017. The best thing that happened to me that year was getting matched with my mentor. After Katrina and I were matched, we made so many great memories together at SOHO and in the SOHO Club. We have been inseparable and we are still going strong after 7 years. I am so excited to be a part of this year’s SOHO group because I want to see the girls get matched with their mentors and each have a new role model in their life, just like how my mentor is my biggest role model. A few of my greatest hopes for this year are for the girls to gain new friendships and have fun, but most importantly to continue their relationships with their mentors for many years.
One of my favorite memories with my mentor is when I made slime with her at her house after we finished our first year of SOHO.

One of the biggest lessons I have learned from having a mentor is that you will always learn and keep growing no matter where you are at in your life.
My favorite SOHO project was the bookshelf that we made because I was able to put objects that symbolized me on the shelves.
Three words that I would use to describe my mentor are amazing, responsible, and supportive.
Something that I have learned so far in my internship is that even if days are gloomy there is always a bright side, you just need to look for it.
