About the author
Kimmy Li
Kimmy Li is a sophomore in the Journalism and Public Interest Communication major at the University of Washington. She is currently a mentor with the Dream Project at UW. Though she has experience working with high school students during the pandemic, she had no prior experience with in-person mentorship. After an entire year of virtual mentorship, Kimmy has come to learn about the challenges high school students have encountered with the college application process. This is her first journalism experience with writing stories for the UW Communication 360 Foundations in Journalism and Public Interest Communication course.
