My name is Kevin, and I am the Community/Outreach Counselor and Educational Advisor at the North Shore Educational Opportunity Center. I have a bachelor’s degree in English with a minor in writing from Emmanuel College and a master’s degree in higher education from Boston College. As a first generation and low income college student, it was definitely difficult for me to navigate the higher education system alone. However, my college experience made me realize that because I am the first person in my family to go to college, my younger sister and cousins can now rely on me for guidance and support as they figure out their college plans. Thus, my goal is to help each of you gain access to college and navigate your educational journey. 

Outside of work, I love watching horror films, listening to alternative/indie rock music, and reading. A fun fact about me is that I once read around 150 books in one year!

My name is Shannon and I am the Bilingual Advisor at the EOC located at North Shore Community College Lynn Campus in room W157.

I attended NSCC and was involved in the TRIO program as a first-generation and low income student myself. TRIO gave me extra support and made a huge difference for me in navigating the college process. I transferred to Salem State University to study Social Work with a double minor in Latin American/Latino Studies and Spanish Language. I am now honored to be a part of another TRIO funded program and using my skills to help each of you navigate your college process! If you see me around campus, don't be shy and say hi!
