Martha Jailene Aguirre is a Guatemalan-American and first-generation college student in her fourth year at UCLA. Jailene is a Psychology major with minors in Education Studies and Applied Developmental Psychology. She has interdisciplinary research interests primarily in the fields of education and psychology, which she hopes to use to improve the conditions that impact marginalized communities. With the help of her research mentor, Dr. Carola Suárez-Orozco, Jailene’s current research project aims to examine the college experiences of underrepresented college students, such as Undocumented college students. She hopes the findings of this study shed light as to how institutional agents can enhance the current system in a way that is tailored towards these students needs and support their academic endeavors.
