Hello Global Glimpsers and families!

I’m the other GGL for this trip! My name is Carmen Jauregui (she/her) and I am the Academic Affairs Manager at the College Track program in Boyle Heights, CA. This program is aimed at supporting students in accomplishing their dreams of going and graduating from college. Supporting high school students to explore their passions and get out of their comfort zone is something I’m incredibly passionate about and enjoy doing in my college-access work. 

Some other information to know about me is that I am the second oldest of six sisters. My parents are both from the same pueblo in Mexico, El Arenal. I’m excited to get to travel somewhere new and try the food. I am from La Puente a town located in the San Gabriel Valley. I graduated from UC Santa Cruz in 2017 with a Spanish Studies major and enjoy reading literary works from various Latin American authors. 

I spend my free time reading, trying new foods, hiking, and spending lots of quality time with my family, friends, and pets. I am the owner of one dog, Poppy, and six chickens. Fun fact: I get to eat freshly laid eggs every day for breakfast!

See you all in a couple of weeks!

-Carmen, GGL
