Paola Veras
Academic Advisor
I also was a first-generation undergraduate and graduate student, so I had to learn a lot on my own because nobody in my family understand, which was hard at times. I want to help first-gen students who need that extra help and be that support for them because I knew how hard it can be sometimes.
