Jennifer was born and raised in Providence, R.I., with two immigrant parents who worked hard to support the home. During her high school years she joined a non-profit student organization and learned about the disparities within Providence Public Schools and became passionate about advocating for student voice. After graduating from JSEC, she attended the University of Rhode Island. There she earned her Bachelor’s in Health Sciences and minored in Gender & Women’s Studies. After college, Jenn knew she wanted to use what she learned at URI to help communities in need. Becoming a College Success Advisor at CV, she knew she would be able to advocate for first-gen low-income college students, like herself. One of her main priorities as an advisor is putting smiles on students and easing their anxieties knowing that they have her as a backup. She is excited to be in this role and hopefully make students’ lives easier while they are pursuing their academic careers. Jenn loves to read (book recommendations are much appreciated) and go on nature walks with her dog.
