• I’m Dr. Terry — big-sister support for first-gen students. If school ever makes you feel like “do I even belong here?” you’re not alone. We keep it simple, real, and step-by-step. Aquí, no judgment.

  • We meet on Zoom and focus on what’s happening right now in your classes (or work). We practice what to say, how to say it, and how to walk in with confidence. You’ll also get weekday voice support (Mon–Fri) so you’re not doing this alone.

  • You stay quiet even when you know the answer.
    You overthink every email/message to a professor.
    You feel nervous speaking in groups or giving presentations.
    You’re first-gen and carrying a lot — school, family, life — todo a la vez.
