University of California – Berkeley
Hi everyone! My name is Dovie! I'm originally from Alabama but I grew up in the Bay Area. I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 2017 with a Bachelors of Arts Degree in American Studies with an emphasis in Education. (Go Bears!) While at Cal, I served as the Assistant Director of Recruitment for the Black Recruitment and Retention Center and joined Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. I have worked in education for over 10 years from tutoring/advising jobs to recruitment work for Cal to managing an Education & Careers department at a nonprofit. I love advising high school students and what I've learned over the years is that there are many pathways for students to achieve their academic goals. As an advisor, I enjoy helping students paint the full picture of themselves through their essays and assisting with career/major exploration. In my everyday life I enjoy listening to music, watching movies, and reading. My latest read was "All About Love" by bell hooks which I highly recommend! I look forward to working with you to achieve your college goals!

Yale University
Hello! My name is Mariko and I graduated from Yale University's five-year BA/MPH program in 2022 with undergraduate degrees in the History of Public Health and Ethnicity, Race, and Migration and a Master's in Public Health in Social and Behavioral Sciences with a concentration in U.S. Racial Health Justice. I deeply valued my college experience and I hope to help others find the same transformative opportunities through helping you through your college process! Outside of the classroom, I was an All-American nominated water polo player who conducted historical research on medicine and the slave trade and worked at both Yale's Afro-American and Asian American Cultural Centers. I was accepted regular decision with a "likely" letter and was a recruited two-sport athlete in high school. Now, I'm back home in Southern California continuing my work in health equity consulting and teaching at Loyola Marymount University.
