Guiding the Next Generation – My Journey as a Merrill College Peer Navigator

September 2024 – December 2024

Serving as a Merrill College Peer Navigator for Fall 2024, I had the opportunity of organizing and leading workshops designed to support 470 first-year Merrill students as they navigated their first quarter at UCSC. Sharing my personal journey—mistakes, achievements, and everything in between—allowed me to connect with students in a meaningful and personal way. It was an incredible experience to offer advice, guide them toward resources I wish I had as a first-year, and provide a foundation for their success at UCSC. Helping others find their path while reflecting on my own has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my time at Merrill College.
