Study abroad, maybe even use an extra semester to do it.
Living on the African American Theme Floor my freshmen year, and studying domestically at Spelman College in Atlanta, GA.
I became a coach because I was also a first-gen college student who understands the obstacles and barriers folks with similar backgrounds face as they enter college. I am passionate about giving the support I wish I had in college.
I own a small business called My Doll Education.
