I am motivated to bridge our scholars to opportunity and success. I’ve experienced remarkable support from a Pre-Collegiate TRiO Program, Upward Bound, in my hometown of East Oakland, CA, and I am a product of the programs’ signature guidance and support. I hope our program makes a positive impact in our students' undergraduate journeys and beyond.

I am really excited to be coming into the program as a Peer Advisor for the new school year. As a first generation student myself, I hope to be able to help and give advice to the student scholars to help them navigate UC Davis. The program really stands out to me because of its foundational beliefs and a program which I wish I had growing up to help navigate my way through college. As a third year student I want to be able to serve the community which I see myself in and make the EOP student scholars experience at UC Davis a great one.

I feel honored to be part of such an impactful program and excited to see what the year as in store for the team. Having the ability to give back to these students and help them navigate through their time at UC Davis is very heartwarming to me. My goal is to provide these students with welcoming environment to all these students and guide them through such a impactful time as much as I can.
