Grateful beyond words to my mentor, Dr. @jannolta.bsky.social, for taking me to my first big conference in San Diego. As a first-gen student, this life-changing experience taught me so much & opened so many doors. Huge thanks also to Geralyn for her amazing mentorship. Feeling so inspired! #ASH24

Hi Bluesky! My name is Elyssa, & I am a first-gen premed applying to med school in 2025. I love learning & giving people study advice, mostly for the MCAT. I’m all about healthcare for the underserved, lowering financial barriers to med school, & not gatekeeping all things premed! Let’s be friends!

New folks here may not be aware:
Our family helps support a former foster-kid who is a first generation college student - she is now in her sophomore year, and not only thriving, but extending that support to other first gen students.
Please help us keep her in school if you can!
