Bio

Hey everyone! My name is Chiamaka and I am a Diversity and Access fellow! I joined this team because I enjoy working with prospective students, and I want to help create an environment where prospective students are aware of Tufts University and the resources that they have to support BIPOC students. I was born and raised in Nigeria. My family moved to the United States when I was 11 years old and we now reside in Ohio. Perfect that I ended up going to college in Massachusetts because I built some immunity to the cold. I love to cook, bake, sing, and watch Netflix - New Girl is my all-time guilty pleasure. When I am not studying or working you will probably find me exploring the city of Boston, grabbing boba from Kung Fu Tea, hitting up thrift stores, or sitting on my porch laughing at some TikTok videos!

In addition to my academic and artwork, I am the head of Boxers on the Hill, the boxing club at Tufts, and I am a Layout Executive for the Tufts Daily.

Brent Cheung '23

Hi everyone! My name is Brent Cheung, and I am thrilled to be an Admissions Fellow this year. I am a senior studying International Relations and History from Shanghai. On campus you can find me as a coach and player for our competitive League of Legends team and as a member of our international relations research journal Hemispheres. Previously, I worked for a college counseling firm in China and witnessed the stress and pressures of applying to university, especially as a member of the Asian community. As an international fellow, I cannot wait to hear the many diverse and unique stories of our international applicants but also hope to better inform the international community about the college admissions process to ease the burden of applying from overseas. Outside of class you will probably find me in the new Gaming Hub room grinding some Solo Queue.
