Meet Your Mentors

I was born and raised in Wilson, NC. This is my second year at WCC and my major is in Associates in Science in Teacher Preparation. My passion has always been to help people out and see them succeed in life, and as a mentor, I can help students at WCC succeed. My goal is to see students feel confident about themselves throughout their college journey and for them to finish what they started.

I’m from New Jersey. My family moved to Wilson 14 years ago, and I’m now in my second year at WCC. I earned my GED here and am working on my Associate’s in Business Administration. Next, I’ll pursue Accounting at NC State to become a CPA. I became a Pack Mentor because I love helping others and know firsthand the challenges of balancing college with life. My goal is to help mentees become more open, utilize campus resources, and understand that advisors and teachers are here to support them. I’m excited to be alongside them, cheering them to the finish line!

I was born in Mexico and raised in Wilson. I’m pursuing an Associate in Science and plan to transfer to NC State for a Bachelor’s in Accounting. As a first-generation college student, I understand the challenges of navigating higher education. I’m passionate about mentoring because I want to help others overcome similar obstacles and show them that success is within reach. By sharing my experiences and offering guidance, I aim to empower students to achieve their goals and inspire them to become mentors themselves. My mission is to build a supportive community where everyone can thrive.

My major is Business Administration. This is my second year at WCC, and I have two more semesters until graduation. Hopefully, after graduation, I will be able to start a career right here at WCC, alongside pursuing different business ventures. As a mentor, I hope to guide someone who’s determined, like me, to succeed in life, help them with any obstacles that come along with college, and lead them to the correct resources to be successful in obtaining a college degree.
