As a Weekly Writing Workshop mentor, she helps run creative writing workshops for kids from the area, attempting to divert them from playing Roblox dress-up or debating about rappers.

Interested in public service and policy, he interned at the City of Claremont and a law firm.

South High Community School, Worcester, MA

Major: Chemistry or Molecular Biology

Although Jason is a proud and loyal Bay Stater who misses having a Dunkin' on every street corner, he believes the trade-off is worth it for the opportunity to enjoy carne asada fries (a new affinity of his since moving to SoCal) and the countless opportunities available on campus every day. Despite really enjoying the California weather, Jason ironically spends much of his time in the basements of Thatcher Hall and the Smith Campus Center. There, he is practicing a new aria for his voice lesson and studying in the FLI Nest or Latinx Alliance's La Sala, respectively. Whenever he has the chance, he eagerly takes the journey on the Metrolink to explore the wonders of Los Angeles.

Some of Korey's favorite authors are Ta-Nehisi Coates, Mitchell Jackson, and Madeline Miller; some favorite artists are Ashe, Bruno Mars, and Olivia Dean. One thing Korey hopes to see more of this year is zebra print.
