Jesus Barraza Jr. is a third-year at the University of Wisconsin - Madison studying Human Development and Family Studies & Chicane/Latine Studies with certificates in Education and Education Services & Disability Rights and Services. Once Jesus obtains his bachelor’s degree, he hopes to continue his education and work towards a master’s degree in School Counseling or Higher Education. This past summer, he served as the Career Development Intern at the Posse Chicago site, and he is currently working as a student worker for the Chicane/Latine Studies Program. Being the child of immigrants who did not get the opportunity to pursue higher education, Jesus has a strong interest in working with students within the Latine and first-generation population. He is fluent in both English and Spanish and strives to be as accessible as possible with all individuals he interacts with. Jesus is a strong advocate for mental health awareness and pushes the practice of self-care.
