Karyme comes full circle
June 18, 2021
Blank Spaces “founding female” and returning intern for the summer, Karyme Zuniga, has received past services from PCS. She remarks, “Growing up my family had a lot of financial difficulties and Panhandle Community Services was able to provide aid through their utility assistance program. They really helped us out in a time of need; being able to work on their mural and continue to beautify their building highlights how everything comes full circle. It makes me happy to know I’m doing something for an organization special to me that helps and serves our community.” Karyme is now in her second year as apre-medical major at Texas Tech University and is pursuing a career as cardiothoracic surgeon.
