This week’s #TeammateTuesday features the amazing Rhiannon Carabajal Killian, Aspire’s Post-Secondary Access and Success Program Manager. Rhiannon chose Aspire 2 years ago because of its 'College for Certain' mission. She shared, “I wanted to be a part of an organization that takes responsibility for preparing students academically, socially, and emotionally, to pursue postsecondary credentialing. I believe that it is up to students and their families to choose a postsecondary option that aligns with their identities, passions, and goals, and it is our responsibility to ensure that these options and opportunities are accessible for exploration along the way. I say all of this as a first-generation, college-going Latina, whose life is fundamentally different now because of educational opportunities that were extended to me throughout my life. I want others to have that chance.”
