My name is Dr. Jessica Quintero, Director for the McNair Scholars Program at Our Lady of the Lake University. I also serve as the First-Generation Student Organization sponsor on campus and teach the first-year student experience course.
I am a first-generation, non-traditional college student. I received my doctoral degree from Texas State University with a major in Adult Professional, and Community Education. I am a Chicana, adult educator and researcher interested in the experiences of online learners in higher education and the experiences of first-generation college students, specifically, the Chicana/Latina experience. My goals are to conduct research that will inform best practices for building equitable systems through education.
When away from the office, I enjoy reading, working on puzzles, and spending time with my family and friends.
