I’m Rosa a.k.a the Revamp Queen serving as a public health policy expert by day and a professional branding and career strategist by night. I’m on a purpose-filled mission to provide you with the guidance and support necessary to make your professional and academic dreams come true! As an Ethiopian-American born to immigrant parents, I didn’t have the luxury or access to information or mentors that understood the college application process. In fact, my parents would always say “Rosa we know you’ll be a doctor, lawyer or President of the United States one day” but knew little to nothing about creating a strong resume or writing the compelling personal statement that I needed to get into higher education programs. While my parents did their absolute best to support me, my college application process didn’t feel like perfectly pictured campus visits. It felt more like accepting that I would have to do many things without the proper guidance that every child should have when applying to school. That feeling of being lost didn’t end when I got accepted into college. Like many of you, I spent numerous semesters engaging with my fair share of bad college advisors who didn’t understand or adapt to my dual identity, my story or my needs. I walked into advising appointments desperate for guidance and walked out even more frustrated and misplaced about my professional path post-graduation.
