As a first generation college student raised by a single mother, I am well attuned to the struggles that getting to college can face. I worked multiple jobs on top of a very demanding course load to stay afloat. On top of that, I was one of few females in my major and faced a lot of doubt from myself and others that I was built for Engineering. The truth is, we all have ideas and skills that are invaluable. My goal is give everyone a chance to at least get to the starting line. Everyone deserves a seat at the table, and everyone deserves the opportunity for their ideas to thrive.
