As an AmeriCorps fellow, not only do I get to give back to the Oxnard community I grew up in, but I also get to serve the same high school student demographic I hope to work with one day. I am passionate about inspiring others to pursue their education and career goals, and would like to work as a high school counselor or teacher. Working with the Oxnard College Outreach team has helped me better understand the needs and questions of high school students on their journey to higher education, which is beneficial for me to know in my future career.
