"I am a first-generation, low-income student from rural South Dakota - I've experienced many barriers and knowledge gaps in my educational journey. However, I've also had a supportive network of peers and mentors who have helped me carve a path where one previously didn't exist. I want to ensure that all FLI students have access to the people and resources they need to be successful in their own journeys! I also want to build community with other FLI students and be a source of support wherever I can. Reach out, and let's connect!"
