About Me
Hi, I’m Mikayah Parsons (she/her/hers). When my nose isn’t buried in books, you’ll often find me writing poetry that documents how my various identities intersect on a larger national and global scale. In addition, I’m a student at Amherst College occupying roles in Dining Services, the Wellness Team, the Diversity Outreach Intern Team, and the History Department as a Student Office Assistant. I have a podcast called “Feeling FLI” that aims to bridge the gap between low-income students and elite colleges. Please feel free to reach out with any comments, questions, or suggestions! :)
