Hi! I’m Nora. I am a first-generation student and the daughter of Mexican immigrants. I was born and raised in the Los Angeles area, but moved with my family to the Central Valley right after my high school graduation. I graduated from CSU Stanislaus with my Bachelor’s in Child Development, and I am back once again at Stan State to earn my Master’s in Counseling. I have worked in higher education and the K-12 school system, and I discovered that my passion was helping first-gen students when I first worked as a mentor for the TRiO program at my university. Outside of work, I love running, going to concerts, and trying out new places to eat!
