Tyreen Sims is a Bronx native from the Butler and Boston Secor Housing projects. From childhood she always dreamed of going away to college and coming home to help her community. When she graduated from the Frederick Douglass Academy in 2006 she was accepted to Gettysburg College where she majored in psychology. During her college career she participated in many service projects, from tutoring to handing out clothes to the homeless in Washington D.C, as well as spending a semester abroad in Egypt to study Arabic and Egyptology. Upon her graduation in May of 2010 Tyreen began to pursue her career in Clinical Psychology with a focus in educating minority children in the public school system. She is currently working as a student advocate at the Harlem Children Zone where she is actively inside the schools working one on one with children to help them to excel academically and socially. One thing she says the projects has taught her is that you must always dream big, and when those dream come to reality you must go back and help someone else make their dreams come true. (2010)
