Get to Know Ilse

I was in the Honors Society in undergrad and I’m currently the Chair of Diversity at U of M! I love spending time with loved ones, traveling, DIY home renovations, arts & crafts, fitness, cooking, and baking.

I’m a first-generation college and graduate level student. I want to break the biases behind minorities in college and prestigious careers.
