Hello Cicero Parents,
My name is Jennifer Porras, and I am the new College Counselor!
I grew up in Southern California, and when it was time to look at and apply to colleges, my parents talked me into applying to 15 schools, even though I already knew my first choice was Gonzaga University. Big surprise, I attended Gonzaga and graduated in 2016. Upon graduation, I decided to make my way to Dallas, TX. While living in Dallas, I got my Masters in Higher Education from Southern Methodist University (SMU) and graduated in 2019. I spent 4 ½ years working in Higher Education, primarily with student-athletes, at SMU, Florida State University, and Grand Canyon University, then decided to shift gears in 2021. For the last two 2 ½ years, I’ve been the Youth Coordinator at Scottsdale Bible Church where I administratively supported youth pastors and managed the details and organization of events and camps for the jr. high and high school ministries. Working in youth ministry instilled in me a heart for high school students and their development. Now in this new role as College Counselor, I am excited for the opportunity to merge my love for the next generation along with my passion for higher education.
Outside of work, I love hanging out with my mini goldendoodle, going to concerts, golfing, playing pickleball, finding new coffeeshops, and being involved at my local church.
I am eager to work with you and your students as we navigate what the next steps look like, after Cicero. My office is on the 2nd floor of the admin building, and I will be around during our Open House event on August 2nd. Please make sure to pop by and say hello!
I look forward to meeting you all soon.
Jennifer Porras
