Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)
This work highlights my experience as a College Corps Fellow serving at Arcata High School. Being present in an academic setting allowed me to reflect on the importance of community support and mentorship. Through this experience, I gained a deeper understanding of how showing up for students, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds, can create a sense of belonging and motivation. Inspired by this, I plan to support my tribal community and Native students interested in higher education.
