Mentor
Environmental Studies - University of California Santa Cruz

As a recent Environmental Studies graduate from UC Santa Cruz, I know how overwhelming the college process can feel, especially when you're trying to find a path that fits both your passions and your future. At UCSC, my studies focused on climate justice, sustainability, and the intersection of environment and community. Along the way, I navigated everything from financial aid and scholarships to off-campus housing and course planning, and I’m here to help you do the same. Through Talkshop, I offer support in application strategy, essay writing, housing guidance, financial aid planning, choosing classes and professors, and adjusting to campus life. Whether you’re curious about what daily life is like at UCSC or need help crafting a strong personal statement, I’m here to offer honest, experience-based advice to make the process clearer and less stressful.
