About this Webinar
A strong resume can help students organize their experiences, identify strengths, and present a clear picture of their involvement both inside and outside the classroom. In this webinar, led by Former Admissions Officer Dr. Aya Waller-Bey students and families will learn the key sections of a high school resume, what admissions officers look for, and how to showcase extracurricular activities, accomplishments, interests, and strengths effectively. We’ll also discuss the role resumes play in college admissions, how creating one can strengthen the application process even when it is not required, and practical ways students can continue building meaningful experiences throughout the school year and summer.

I am a proud first-generation college student passionate about college admissions and higher education, hailing from Detroit, MI. I earned my B.A. in Sociology from Georgetown University and joined the Office of Undergraduate Admissions shortly after. I then earned my MPhil in Education at the University of Cambridge as a recipient of the Gates Cambridge Scholarship. I have over eight years of college admissions, advising, and college interview experience. Currently, I am researching college admissions as a doctoral candidate at the University of Michigan!
