I'm excited to work with TRIO to empower students who are often underrepresented by
providing equity and opportunities. I understand the challenges of navigating school
and finding support. As a TRIO counselor, I believe in the power of education to change
lives, and I am dedicated to helping students overcome barriers and reach their full
potential. In my free time, I enjoy watching movies, reading books, and drawing.

Working with TRIO and supporting such deserving students has been an amazing experience.
I'm excited to see what these excellent students accomplish in the future. When I
have the chance, I enjoy watching movies, listening to various types of music, reading
a new book, and spending time with my loved ones.
