About Me
Area of Study: Political Science and Spanish (a minor in crime & justice and hopefully BA). I engage in outreach work because I come from a community with limited access to resources, and I’ve seen how meaningful support can make a real difference. Growing up in a low-income immigrant background motivates me to give back and support students who may not always feel seen or encouraged. Outreach, to me, is about helping create more equitable opportunities and making sure students know they belong.
About Me
Area of Study: Biology, Health, & Society. I engage in outreach work because I didn’t have anyone in my life who had already navigated the college and post-graduation process, which often made it feel overwhelming and unattainable. As a first-gen student, being part of support programs helped me discover my options, access critical resources, and believe that I truly belonged in these spaces. Now, as a GEAR UP guide, I’m passionate about giving students what I once needed by helping equip them with the skills, tools, and confidence to trust their abilities. I want students to feel empowered, capable, and supported as they work toward their own versions of success.
About Me
Area of Study: Community and Global Public Health. I’m passionate about outreach and education access because of the vulnerable position I was in during high school. While applying for college, I often felt overwhelmed, undersupported, and underprepared. Fortunately, programs like this one (Raise Scholars in particular) helped ease my anxieties and equip me with strategies and resources to be proactive about my future. As a GEAR UP Guide, I strive to supply students with the same support and encouragement I received to help them feel supported and launch their futures.
About Me
Area of Study: Computer Science. I engage in outreach work because I know firsthand how isolating it can feel to navigate academic and professional spaces without a clear roadmap or inherited guidance. As a first-generation student, I’m driven by the belief that access to information and mentorship should never depend on who you know or where you come from. Outreach allows me to turn my own uncertainty into clarity for others, bridging gaps, building confidence, and making systems feel human instead of intimidating. At its core, this work is about accountability: if I’ve benefited from support, I have a responsibility to extend it forward.
About Me
Area of Study: Biology, Health, and Society, pre-dental track. Outreach programs were among my strongest motivators to keep striving towards college growing up. As a first-generation student from a low-resourced community, I found it hard to navigate applications, financial aid letters, and test prep, and to choose a pathway for myself. Programs like Wolverine Pathways expanded my network and access to college-prep resources, in turn giving me more confidence to embark on the journey of higher education. Higher education can be really intimidating, and I want to use my own experiences to be a resource for students who may be experiencing the same feelings and difficulties I once did.

Outreach, to me, is about helping create more equitable opportunities and making sure students know they belong.
About Me
Area of Study: Political Science. I engage in outreach work because knowing what you want to do is the easy part, yet having the people and resources to get you there is hard. Coming from a low-resourced community, many people think getting to where they want to be was next to impossible. However, I believe nothing is impossible. I feel we need to provide the resources to lower-income and resourced communities to help students achieve their goals. The Gear Up team at my high school provided me with those resources, and all I wish to do is give back what was given to me.
About Me
Area of Study: Business Administration. Growing up in a low-resource community taught me how to be resilient and have high aspirations for what I wanted my future to look like. However, it also helped shape my core values: impact and empowerment. The college application process is one that has historically discriminated against marginalized communities and students. The entire process is complicated, especially for those whose families never pursued anything beyond high school. I engage in outreach to help dissolve those barriers, help others realize what is possible for their future in higher education, and more.
