Bio

Odelia is a first-generation undergraduate student at Stanford University majoring in Geophysics and Communication. She places a lot of importance in helping others share their stories, whether through offering college essay advice, writing features in the Sports section of the Stanford Daily, or working on her book detailing her father's life. She enjoys sharing the advice she wishes she would've had when she was applying to college, attempting to navigate the world of college admissions in a first-generation household.

When she's not helping others share their stories, she spends her time hiking in the Appalachian Mountains, watching sporting events, drinking a chai, or eating avocado toast.
