ABOUT ME

Cerebro 101: Neuroscience Bilingual Workshop 2023

Since 2020, Alejandra’s unwavering commitment and active passion for education, politics, and Latinidad have grown through vast internships and personal projects. She is passionate about bringing her lived experiences into academic and political spaces to address educational inequalities, healthcare inaccessibility, and the generational poverty embedded in our institutions today.

She is committed to her rural hometown community in Oregon, driven to create a meaningful change through policy. She is devoted to preserving stories, history, and culture in the Latino spaces she encounters.

The Migrant Spirit (2021)

"At our annual kickoff with all Northwest Regional ESD staff, we enlisted Alejandra, a student in the Migrant Education Program (MEP) to welcome educators. A special thanks to MEP team members Rosa Gilbert and Amanda Casian for making the telling of Alejandra’s story possible. This story represents the culmination of five years of developing a supportive, reciprocal relationship with her family. Alejandra and her family volunteered to tell a very personal story to hundreds of strangers in large part to the trust they have in Rosa and Amanda to carry their message forward with integrity." - Northwest Regional Education Service District
