CCCC Season 1 Episode 9: Higher Education as First-Gen Latina In this episode Yessenia and I dive deep into discussing what it's like to navigate higher education as first-generation “Latinas”, we deconstruct what that means for us in academia. We share our love for study abroad and travel, and our shared role as a college advisor for students. Yessenia Tostado loves to appreciate time everyday to experience a life well-lived by actively being adventurous. She is a first generation Mexican-American college graduate and a daughter of immigrants. A brief road map of Yessenia’s life would highlight that she grew up in East Los Angeles, where she played soccer 7 summers in a row and had two different programs, Project GEAR UP and College Match, to support her in her college going journey. After learning about the value of a liberal arts education, Yessenia moved across the country to attend college in Pennsylvania, where she got to learn so much about herself, had some amazing experiences with best of friends, and was fortunate enough to study abroad twice. After earning a Bachelors of Arts in Psychology and a Health Studies Certificate from Dickinson College, Yessenia moved to the Chicagoland area to be an AmeriCorps Scholar Coach to support high school students in their journey to college. After completing her two years of service and taking a much needed break between jobs, Yessenia moved to Colorado to join College Track Aurora as a College Completion Advisor. Yessenia believes in the 10 year promise that College Track makes to its students to get to and through college and into their careers. In this current role as an advisor, Yessenia works diligently to support students in their own journeys for a life of opportunities, choice and power through the value of a college degree. Other, possibly at the end of our coffee chat (promo): If you’d like to learn more about Yessenia, search for the Unsealed LYPs podcast to hear about her first year in college, studying abroad, and following her dreams away from home.
