Why I want to be an OHIO First Scholars Advocate: I grew up in a blue collar area with few college graduates. When I completed my B.S. in 2005, I was surprised to find out that I was one of only around five students from my high school class to do so. Since joining the faculty of Ohio University, I have tried to provide support to first generation and non-traditional students that might face additional barriers to education.
