Alejandra’s role entails conducting outreach to our participating schools by providing an overview of what EIP is and what services are available to incoming students. She assists in the management of nominations and the coordination of the application process, which includes application audits. Her role includes onboarding new schools into the EIP program as well as providing consistent outreach to families to support them throughout their first year of EIP. She also helps to keep all rosters up to date.
She is passionate about her work because she believes that all students should have the opportunity to further their education. She genuinely enjoys meeting and talking with the students, as well as being a part of something that will have a significant impact on their lives. As a first-generation student herself, she is always eager to assist other first-generation students in obtaining the education they desire!
Alejandra began her professional career as an EIP Office Assistant and worked her way up to her current position over the course of four years. She is grateful to be in the position she is in now because of everything she is learning.
She enjoys dancing! She adores animals and aspires to own a large enough home to house a variety of them.
