As a first-generation Ph.D. student, I know the journey can be lonely at times. But you belong; your voice, story, and brilliance matter on this path and beyond. Keep rising, you are seen. One day at a time #PhDlife#Belonging#Firstgen

Finally walked across that stage today…
It was so surreal.
First-Gen student graduating with a Bachelors— EVER— in my family on both sides.
I’m the first to do it.
There aren’t enough words to express all the emotions I’ve gone through today.

I anticipate that I will be defending my prospectus early in the spring. That plus teaching 6 courses has me seeing my lifelong dream coming true
Being a professor, mentoring and helping students see how sociology matters outside the classroom is the best part of my life

In this dark time, I am thrilled to see so many higher Ed institutions removing financial barriers for folks who traditionally can't go to college. I am a first Gen college student and many of my students are too. I'm proud to be at a public uni doing similar
