YOUTH LEADER
Jesenia Pesina
I’m Jesenia, a Public Health student at the University of Iowa and a Student Success Facilitator dedicated to strengthening community connections. I support high school students—especially Spanish-speaking families—in navigating the transition to college. I'm passionate about advocacy, access, and using creative expression as a tool for empowerment. I engage in cultural traditions such as attending quinceañeras, Posadas, and more. I'm excited to learn and grow alongside others who value culture, tradition, and meaningful impact.
