Access to Higher Education

Major: Biochemistry and Computer Science with a Minor in Art

Project: For the past two years, I have been deeply engaged in a transformative project aimed at facilitating access to higher education for underserved communities. My dedicated involvement revolves around collaborating with Minds Matter, a distinguished non-profit organization with a nationwide presence. Through this partnership, I’ve been actively contributing to empowering individuals from low-income backgrounds by providing them with invaluable resources and guidance necessary for navigating the college application process. This rewarding journey not only underscores my commitment to fostering equitable opportunities but also highlights the profound impact that collective efforts can have on shaping a brighter future for aspiring students.

Inspiration: I have always loved art and want to be able to use it to my advantage to do something about my social issue and what I think is important to talk about and stand up for.

Future Plans: I hope to help with getting people to become more knowledgeable about the issue. I want to eventually work my way up and improve my project to be able to help people in Domestic Violence situations
