Where did you attend college?

Santa Clara University

What was your college experience like as a first-generation college student?

I was blessed to be supported by the Bridge program throughout my undergraduate years at SCU. Taking part in multi-cultural greek life and taking the opportunity to be involved with Residence Life and the RLCs solidified my sense of belonging at SCU.

What message do you have to share with current first-generation college students?

Do what you love - from choosing a major that genuinely interests you to deciding on a career that is fulfilling and where you feel you are making a positive impact in your community and in the world
