Hi everyone! I’m thrilled to share that I’ve been accepted to study abroad in London this summer with the Communications Department at Grand Valley State University. As a first-generation college student, I can't begin to describe how unbelievably excited, grateful, and privileged I feel to have been given this opportunity that I never would have imagined for myself!

Here's a little bit about me for those who don't know:

The total cost of this study abroad experience costs $12,052. This includes $4002 in tuition, a $6800 program fee, and $1250 in personal expenses such as my passport, UK visa, groceries, and other additional necessary costs. I am humbled by any money or donations that would be considered for my educational journey overseas -- absolutely every dollar counts!

Lastly, I am not asking for donations out of a sense of entitlement, but rather from a place of genuine need and unwavering determination. By donating to this fundraiser, you would be doing more than funding a trip by helping finance my studies – you would be empowering first generation students to break barriers, gain important work and life experience, and move one step closer to the stable, fulfilling future I've been working so hard to

I also have the following accounts for donation:

Thank you so much for considering donating to my education!
