I believe education is a powerful pathway for personal growth, providing individuals with opportunities to not only expand their knowledge but also to discover avenues that enrich their life experiences. As a first-generation, low-income college student, I initially struggled to navigate the higher education system and fully understand the opportunities available to me. I am passionate about ensuring that students have access to the resources and information they need to explore various pathways, empowering them to live richer, more fulfilling lives.
