About Me
As a first-generation, woman of color, I have experienced the positive impact that attending college has had on my life, and I want to empower students to consider higher education as a key to success. My passion working with students has spanned across my entire career, and I am happy to do so at Drexel University.
What advice would you give to a high school student applying to college?
Focus on finding a college that is best for you and your success. College fit is important, and I want to encourage students to first explore what they want from their college experience before narrowing their college search list.
