A First Generation Student's Story with Olivia Pura

Olivia Pura is a first-generation college student who just graduated with magna cum laude from Northwestern University and is now beginning a Ph.D. program in Biochemistry & Biophysics at the University of Chicago. She shares her journey through the college admissions process and undergraduate years: lessons learned, mentors who helped her out, and what she wants other high school students navigating this journey to know ahead of time. Olivia is also Miss Illinois USA, where she gives back by using her title to advocate for female equality in S.T.E.M. fields.
