About

This College Admissions Workshop on Finding Your Fit is a virtual 4-week workshop designed to provide you with structure and support to build your college list.

  • Use online tools and resources to research schools thoroughly, looking beyond rankings to discover what makes each unique
  • Create a balanced list of reach, target, and safety schools that align with your academic profile and preferences
  • Develop strategies for exploring colleges through virtual tours, campus visits, and conversations with students and staff

View Profile

I am a first-year undergraduate student double majoring in public policy and Spanish literature on the pre-law track. In my free time (if I ever have any) I like to re-read some of my Marvel comics, as well as, entertain myself with some of my go-to Marvel movies. Early on in my high school career, I obtained an interest in the pursuit of higher education. My goal was to attend the college of my dreams, but it did not stop there; I also wanted to empower others to attend the college of their dreams.
