About Me

I am a first generation college student. I attended community college through high school at the Early College Academy. My experience at UNC so far has been great! I have been able to meet many new people and created new friendships.

I have received three donor-funded scholarships from UNC, which have impacted my experience in an really positive way. Being able to attend UNC without having to pay tuition your first semester is an amazing feeling. I am so thankful for  the scholarships I have been able to receive, because at first I thought I had to do it all by myself.

Message to UNC Donors
