Darrell was a first-generation college student and knows what it is like to feel like you are navigating a whole new world alone. He is passionate about service and is proud to say that he is a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer (Costa Rica '15-'17). Darrell's experience in Costa Rica led him to pursue a Master's Degree in Adult Education and Bilingual Education and graduated in December 2023. He loves his family dearly and is the middle child of three boys. Darrell has 3 nephews, 2 nieces, and  co-parents his partner's three children. He also enjoys listening to music, reading, digital art, photography, coffee, and being outdoors - discovering new places.


I like knowing that I can make a difference in their lives and that I can provide a sense of comfort in a time that may seem overwhelming.


Say 'Yes' to unplanned things every once in a while. You never know when those things will become one of your favorite college memories. Also, don't rush time during these years because it will go by fast enough. Enjoy this special time in your life and bask in it. I promise, you'll miss it!
