This course breaks down outreach into 4 simple steps, helping you confidently connect with people who can support your academic and career decisions.

Hi, I’m Karely! I’m a first-generation Latina who graduated with an M.A. in Psychological Research. In response to the lack of representation and the limited access to guidance and resources in higher academia- I created exitoconkarely, ‘Success with Karely’.

This platform provides the support, transparency, and mentorship I wish I had, while also emphasizing the importance of caring for one’s mental and physical health, with the goal of helping students from underrepresented backgrounds apply to and succeed in graduate school.
