  Student Mentor

  I am a Student Mentor at UTA and that means that I work at high schools helping students with their post secondary education plans. I help students with FAFSA/TASFA, college applications, SAT/ACT, and career advice. What I am most deeply proud of is that I am able to inspire students to believe that there is more out there for them and that they can get into college or find a decent job. Most kids that I have encountered believed that they were not equipped for higher education, but being able to bring truth into these kids eyes is what brings me joy. Show less
