Biography
I think the 1st Gen mentor program is such a phenomenal resource and wished that it had been a resource when I was an undergrad student. To be honest, I felt lost and lacked appropriate advisement. My parents never went to college and did not know how to help. It wasn't until years later, when I returned to graduate school that I realized how much I lacked in guidance. I want to be able to help students open doors of opportunity; be an available resource as they find their path.
