Mercy Ogutu
Hello my name is Mercy Ogutu and I am on a mission to make a positive impact locally and globally.
I am a double major in Political Science and International Affairs and a minor in Cultural and Language Relations. As a student leader in my school and community, my goal is inspire my fellow peers and my community to take advantage of every opportunity to work hard to achieving their dreams.
My website is place to explore new ways on staying on track with your academic, career, lifestyle, and financial goals. Through a series of research and personal experience, I hope that my writing and additional resources will help you stay committed to your dreams and make them into a reality.
Background
Born in Kenya and raised in Atlanta, Ga, I am happy to represent my Luo and Luyia indigenous culture and community. I am proud represent my heritage and recognize the sacrifices my ancestors made before me.
With my Associates Degree in Network System Administration, I plan to integrate technology and politics to create and expand strategic change in domestic and foreign policies.
As an immigrant and with a background of growing up in a overlooked minority community in Atlanta, Ga, I continue to work hard to advocate and expand more change towards immigration rights, educational and college resources, voting rights, affordable healthcare, and mental health awareness in underserved communities in Georgia and also in Washington, DC. This year my goal is to challenge myself to learn new skills and find ways to stay digitally connected with my fellow peers and family, while being productive in my academics.
This summer I spent time working and volunteering with community leaders to advocate and create affordable to free resources for COVID-19, voter registration and information, and affordable meals for families in need.
During my free time I like to run, play tennis, read poetry and motivational books, create graphic design posters, and volunteer at local community development events.
College is a journey and my mission is to make this experience the most memorable for all.
