Yesenia Ochoa

I work for the RCSA Social Media and Event organizer team. In this committee, we work on organizing the events for both students and staff, fundraising, and socials.

After being awarded the 2024 National Association of State Directors of Migrant Education (NASDME) scholarship, I was invited to give a speech for their annual conference in Portland, Oregon. I spoke about my experience as the daughter of immigrants and why and how I decided to pursue a bachelor's degree.

I was one of ten students chosen to participate in the AFS Transatlantic Global Preparation program during the summer of 2023. The program focused on providing insight into the socio-economic relationship between Germany and the United States.
