"I believe that having a support system as a first-generation student is essential. Listening to the stories, advice, and skills that other first-gen students and community members have gained along the way is a valuable component to a support system. I hope that Charlas y Café can highlight the amazing first-gen community while also providing valuable resources and information to students and their parents!

About me: I am a first-gen student that recently graduated with a bachelor’s degree in social work and psychology from Wichita State University. I am currently working towards my master’s degree in social work. I am passionate about helping advance equity in my community!"
