Grey
Hi, I am Grey and I am pursuing a degree in English. My career dream is to be editing and translating foreign novels. College is very different from high school, in that a student has to keep their own schedule, and be responsible for themselves. It may be difficult to juggle free time, study time, and other extra-curriculars. It can be a challenge to find resources and programs on campus to assist. That is why I wanted to be a peer academic coach. I believe that every student has their own pathway to success. I am passionate about making sure any student I meet not only succeeds, but acquires the skills and tools they need to continue to succeed after our meeting.

My academic interests include language policy and bilingual education. I got my bachelor’s in literature, so I also have a soft spot for it. I can help with any stage of the writing process, and my strength is working with students who have English as a foreign or second language. In my free time, I like painting watercolors and trying new delicious food.

Hey! My name is Tracey Tran (she/her). I am a senior student in my second professional year here at the KU School of Pharmacy. I am an international student from Vietnam so I can speak fluently both Vietnamese and English. My major requires an overview understanding about Lab report, research paper, brainstorming idea, cover letter, resume, and personal statement so I can help you with that when you need. I also have a cat who acts like a dog and asks me for a walk every night so you might hear me talk a lot about her!
