Assistant Director of Admission and Group Visit Coordinator

Claudia
My love and passion for higher education has led me to work at the Undergraduate Office of Admission as an Admission Counselor at the University of Denver. Originally from Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico, I attended Denver North High School and went on to receive my Bachelor's Degree in Chicano Studies from Metro State in 2006. My educational and professional experiences have allowed me the opportunity to guide families and students through the college admission and financial aid process. For the past few years I worked as a Community Relations Manager with College Invest, a division of the Colorado Department of Higher Education, in guiding families and students of all backgrounds through the college financial aid process. I also had an opportunity to work as a Middle School Transitions Liaison with the Denver Public Schools, where I had the opportunity to expand my horizons and work with homeless youth in the district providing enrollment/academic resources to students, and serve them as a peer counselor. Through my experiences, I have directly seen the obstacles young students and their families face in making decisions regarding higher education, and I look forward to assisting in providing guidance to our prospective students and their families.
