In this episode of the Living Out Loud Discussion Series, I chat with Julieta Arámburo to explore the first-gen experience and its implications in professional settings. Julieta shares her personal journey as a first-generation college graduate, her struggles with imposter syndrome, and her career in higher education. We touch on concepts like hidden curriculum, the importance of community and support systems, and actionable steps for educators and professionals to better support first-gen students and colleagues.
