What does being a first-generation college student mean to you?

Being a first-gen student means having resilience, going through something that not everyone can relate to and coming out with a skill that not everybody has.

What’s something that you’re proud of that you’ve accomplished during your time at the University of Iowa?

I am the clinic coordinator for the Mobile Clinic at IC Compassion. It’s one of our first monthly clinic sites. It will be for immigrant and refugee populations.
