Bella
Hi! My name is Bella, and I am a senior majoring in Psychology with minors in Art History and Women, Gender, & Sexuality Studies. I hope to start my Master's Program in Counseling Psychology at KU next fall and become a Licensed Professional Counselor. I became a Peer Academic Coach to help others gain confidence in their academic journey, whether that involves managing the stress of coursework, developing good study habits, or discovering what they are passionate about. As a first-generation student, I understand how challenging it can be to navigate college, but finding a good support system has helped me get on track and achieve what I once thought was impossible.
Some fun facts about me: I have a cat named Kovu, I speak French fluently, and my favorite way to study is to teach others what I have learned in class!
