TRiO Student Support Services

 

Originally from Mammoth Lakes, CA with roots in Michoacan, Mexico. I currently serve as a Program Manager for TRiO Student Support Services. Being a first-generation Hispanic college graduate and TRiO alumnus, I understand the obstacles that students face on the daily and the support they need to ensure they are successful along their academic journey. I have a passion to help guide and mentor students along their academic path. I am a firm believer in the power of education and believe that everyone should have the opportunity to further their education no matter their background. I am dedicated to the students and will do all I can to support students achieve their goals. I completed my undergraduate degree in Sociology in 2018 and my graduate degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Sports Management in 2021, both from Kansas Wesleyan University. I have spent my career advocating for underserved communities with roles in both K-12 and higher education. Outside of work, I love to be in nature, playing soccer, hiking, running, or snowboarding. I enjoy spending quality time with my fiancé and my family.
