Yohanna Machado
Founder and President of the All Culture Connect Program
Brazilian-American and fluent in Portuguese
Hello! My parents and I felt so panicked this year because I am a junior in high school, which is usually the year that students start learning about different colleges and preparing applications. We knew nothing about college because my parents were born and raised in Brazil. After doing intense research and unfortunately paying lots of money for counseling, my parents and I learned how to effectively build my college application resume. There are so many things I regret not doing earlier, and I don't want any other children of immigrants to ever have to go through that. Therefore, my program offers not only free tutoring but also free high school counseling.

I am interested in clinical psychology and take rigorous classes for better preparation for college. I am a part of multiple clubs and been volunteering in a cat shelter for over two years. As someone who moved to the United States about 6 years ago and knew nothing about the education system here and had no one to tell me about it, it would be an honor to be able to help people who are in the same situation now as me 6 years ago.
