Saludos! I graduated from Georgia Tech last year with a Bachelor's of Science. Aside from managing this nonprofit, I work full-time as a EMT for Grady and coach youth soccer in Lindbergh. Born and raised in metro Atlanta, I love to give back to my community. I also enjoy going to the gym and traveling.

Ivan Zapote

Social Media Manager

Hello! I am a first-generation Mexican American, born and raised in South Georgia. After recently graduating from Georgia Tech, I took some time off to spend with friends and travel. Reflecting on my university experience, which I navigated somewhat blindly, I am eager to contribute to an organization that offers guidance and clarity to incoming university students from similar backgrounds.
