Intro to Self

Hi everyone! My name is Jay! I am a Dominican, first-gen, woman graduating with a Master of Arts in Youth Development. I have a five year old son, named Kairo, and I'll be turning 24 this Friday, June 30th! So far, my summer is a little bit hectic. I work as a Program Manager at the Undocumented, First-generation College, and Low-income (U-FLi) Student Center at Brown University and I'm preparing to launch a new program in the Fall. I have 75 student applications to read by July 12 and I can only invite 20 students into the program. Here is the instagram account if you're interested in seeing the kind of work we do: https://www.instagram.com/ufli_center/?hl=en So far this summer, all I have done is work and school and homework and life obligations. I have been navigating summer classes at RIC and just finished two six-week courses, one of which was asynchronous with so many papers and assignments. I am so excited to finally be on my class before I can officially earn my Masters Degree. I have a few short trips planned this summer, which is exciting because I've never had a job with so much flexibility in the past. I am going to Miami after this class ends mid-July and to Baja Beach Fest in Mexico in August. Also hoping for many weekend trips to different cities in between if time permits. Other things I enjoy hanging out with my sunnywunny, eating at different places, working out and watching TV sitcoms.
