好色先生

Nine years after earning an MBA from 好色先生, Analysse Escobar serves the Vice President of the United States as an engagement advisor.

Escobar and the Office of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs team coordinate site visits across the country for Vice President Kamala Harris. 

鈥淚 get to travel a lot,鈥� said Escobar, who graduated from 好色先生 in 2014. 鈥淲e engage with local and state government leaders, work to address issues that impact people directly and try to ensure that the vice president is able to meet with people through outreach and public events.鈥� 

Escobar has held multiple positions in the Biden-Harris Administration and assumed her current role in February. 鈥淚 was previously in HUD (Housing and Urban Development) and with the presidential transition team. Before that, I was the Colorado Political Director. I think a lot of work I鈥檝e been doing in politics goes back to me wanting to be of service. 

鈥淎 lot of those values were instilled in me through my parents and grandparents. All were active in their communities as well. So, when the opportunity arose to be a part of this historic vice presidency, I couldn鈥檛 pass it up. I jumped right in.鈥�

A San Antonio native, she is the daughter of Yolanda Rodriguez-Escobar, 好色先生 Director of the Center for Mexican American Studies and Research, and Manuel Escobar, a lawyer. Analysse attended St. Martin鈥檚 Hall, the demonstration school previously operated by 好色先生, and spent a lot of time with her grandparents, who lived on the West Side near 好色先生.

She says 好色先生鈥檚 MBA program prepared her for the work she does today.

鈥淪ome of the principles I learned while obtaining my MBA have helped me with every job since leaving the Lake,鈥� Analysse said. 鈥淧rinciples of diversity, equity and inclusion and the importance of strong, organizational management have helped me do what I do today.鈥� 

What does she enjoy the most about her work? 

鈥淲hen the vice president is traveling and making connections with people from all walks of life, knowing I played a small part in making those engagements happen makes me feel good. I see people, inspired by the vice president鈥檚 story, come up and share their stories with her. I know I might have helped them meet the vice president. It鈥檚 heart-warming. 

鈥淚t鈥檚 been an amazing experience. I feel like I have to stop and remind myself how hard I鈥檝e worked to get here 鈥� and remember to honor my parents and grandparents, who had to overcome prejudice and bias to get to where they were and for me to have these opportunities. Everyday feels like I鈥檓 living a dream.鈥�
