Easton Carlin

Boscobel, WI
Biology / Science Tutor

College can be a scary experience for anyone, especially those who don’t have any familial experience about it. I know that I felt that way when I first came to UWL; however, with the support of my advisors, who have experience helping first-generation students like me, I immediately felt accepted and welcomed into the community here. I am so excited to join SSS’s team as a tutor and help foster success in other first-gen students! In my free time, I love to read, do Pilates, take long walks listening to music, and spend time with my family.
