About

Helping Valley Students Navigate Their College Journey with Confidence

Hi, I'm Valentina! I grew up in the Rio Grande Valley and graduated from James Nikki Rowe High School, where I earned my International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma. As the daughter of first-generation parents who were unfamiliar with the American college system, I often found myself struggling to navigate the college application process alone.

Those experiences shaped my passion for wanting to help other students in the RGV! After attending Georgetown University and now continuing my education at Duke University, I want to guide students who may feel the same uncertainty I once did. My goal is to make the college process clearer, more approachable, and within reach for every student—no matter where they start.
