Sereen Aridi is a sophomore at the University of Maryland, College Park concentrating in Business Marketing. One of her most important goals is to achieve a higher education as a first-generation student, aspiring to remodel her family's legacy.

At Maryland, Sereen maintained a rigorous academic course load and secured an on-campus job at the STAMP Student Union. She has also served on leadership in different organizations such as Smith's Women Empowerment Institute for Women of Color in Business, Smith Start Mentors for incoming freshmen, Student Entertainment Events, and Leadership and Community Service Learning. Outside of school, Sereen loves to play volleyball with her friends whenever exam season is not lurking around the corner. In addition, she is an active Youth Leader at my church, aspiring to be an example and positive influence among my peers. In her free time, Sereen loves to draw, play video games, learn new skills, and have meaningful connections with others. Post-college, Sereen aims to develop a non-profit organization geared toward helping adolescents build essential skill sets as they continue their educational journey, aspiring to use her college and life experiences to further inspire others with courage and perseverance.
