As an international and first-generation college student, I came to the United States for my higher education and I remembered struggling in my first year. Besides experiencing culture shock, I remembered going in and out of lectures with thousands of questions. I felt so lost and confused, and I didn’t know who the best person was to reach out to for help.

So, I started developing on my idea and started rebuilding a team. That was when I met my co-founder and we’ve been working on this initiative for a year and a half now. We have since grown from a single person founder into a four-person founding team.

A College Student Was Allegedly Murdered After Getting In A Car She Thought Was Her Uber'We believe that she simply mistakenly got into this particular car thinking it was an Uber ride,' Columbia Police Department Chief Skip Holbrook said.
