I’m an Educational Specialist with TRIO Upward Bound at the University of Iowa. I work closely with high school students to support their academic growth and help them prepare for college and their future goals. I’m passionate about making sure students feel supported, confident, and capable. I can help with talking about college adjustments, scholarships, goal setting, staying organized, and navigating college as a first-generation student. I’m here to support students and help them believe in what’s possible for themselves. I enjoy music, going to the gym, and spending time reflecting and growing. I value real conversations and being someone students can feel comfortable talking to.
