Professional Staff 

Miriam Medina

Lead College Facilitator 


Hi Mariners! 


My name is Miriam Medina. I'm a first-generation college graduate. I attended UC Santa Cruz and earned a B.A. in Psychology and Latin American and Latino Studies. I am currently pursuing a M.A. in Counseling and a PPS credential at San Jose State. A highlight about my undergraduate college experience would be studying abroad in Santiago, Chile for six months! I have worked with the UCSC EAOP & Access teams for five years now, and I'm excited to be working with the AHS community now! 


I'm looking forward to meeting Access Program students and supporting you all through your high school journey. Please don't hesitate to stop by the College and Career center with any questions you have, or just to say hi!
