Nerina Garcia-Arcement : Estánfor: Our Voices
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Nerina Garcia-Arcement (BA Psychology, 1997) recalls her upbringing in East Los Angeles and Whittier, California, and her experiences as a Mexican-American student at Stanford in the 1990s and offers advice to current Latinx students. Garcia-Arcement describes feeling isolated as the only Latina in many of her lectures and unprepared for Stanford classes such as Chemistry compared to her peers. She mentions her love for the Latinx community on campus and discusses how the community, her courses in psychology, and her study abroad experience at Oxford University all helped her build confidence in her intelligence and abilities. Garcia-Arcement graduated from Stanford in 1997 with a degree in psychology. She went on to earn a PhD in psychology from Fordham University and worked in public hospitals delivering mental health care to Spanish-speaking patients. After giving birth to her daughter, she started her own private practice in New York City with a focus on helping trauma victims. She is an active member of the Stanford Latino Alumni Association (SLAA).
