“I found a life-changing community within the Regents’ Ambassador Program at the Mays Business School; it taught me the strength and uniqueness of first-generation college students. Now that I have graduated, I want to create a similar community for grads and use our Aggie network to encourage and support current first-gen students. “

“As a first-generation college student, I’ve had my fair share of obstacles to access opportunities. Challenges at every stage created a sense of doubt that I could achieve great things. It is this experience that drives me to be a part of the First-Generation Former Student Network. I want to support those who may have experienced what I have. I want to support those who have started their own stories of perseverance, resilience, and success against the odds. I want to support the unique “why” that each first-generation student has that fuels them to do great things. This is my ‘why’ for serving the First-Generation Former Student Network”
