Welcome to Yale, Class of 2029! My name is Ivy (she/her), I am a rising senior majoring in sociology and Education Studies Intensive Certificate, and I call the Philippines my home. On campus, though, home is my residential college--Saybrook--and I am involved as a Recruitment Coordinator for the Yale Undergraduate Admissions Office, a volunteer poetry reader for The Yale Review, an Education Studies Program Assistant, a Dwight Hall Urban Fellow interning at a local after-school arts program, and a worship team leader for Yale Students for Christ.
Transitions are always hard, especially when home is thousands of miles away, so feel free to reach out to ask me questions about anything from moving to a cold climate from a warm one, to what it's like being first-generation/low-income on campus, (secret) study spots on campus, and more! I love fun random sidequests, so I'd love to just get to know you, hang out, and do things like create tiered rankings of nostalgic TV shows (Avatar the Last Airbender and most 2000-2015 Disney shows are non-negotiable S-tiers, full stop). I'm excited to meet you and walk with you in the dynamic, chaotic, and surprising journey to come!
