I am immensely proud to announce that I am a first-generation college student pursuing dual degrees in Sociology and Public Health at UC Berkeley. Despite facing a rollercoaster of life experiences, I have managed to shape my trajectory and have ultimately become the person I have always aspired to be. My journey over the past few years has been characterized by unwavering drive, passion, and motivation to ensure my educational and career objectives are aligned. I am committed to leveraging my life experiences to advocate for survivors of domestic violence, individuals in at-risk situations, ex-offenders, and those impacted by the Criminal Justice System. I am determined to make a positive impact in my community. It would be a blessing to receive scholarships to invest in the ability to further my education. It's hard out here in the low-income bracket!
