"Being part of Trailblazer means paying it forward. I owe to the first-gen students who came before me and chose to uplift others. I’m here to continue that cycle: offering support, sharing honestly, and helping the next generation of first-gens feel confident forging their own paths.”

“I'm excited to share my experiences, including the challenges and the successes. I'm here to support and inspire future college seekers.”
