Immigration & Mentorship

High School: South High School

Major: International Relations & Affairs

Project: For my Puksta Pathway, I plan to develop a project that supports immigrants as they navigate life in a new country by providing resources, community connections, and emotional support to ensure they know they’re not alone. I also hope to mentor newcomers and first-generation students by offering guidance and resources to help them succeed in high school, pursue higher education, or explore opportunities designed for them after graduation.

Looking Forward to in Puksta: I am excited to engage with everyone and get working on my project and experience all the amazing events.
