Meet Julissa!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Having just graduated last year with a degree in Sociology from UVM, Julissa is joining the Huertas team as a field intern and is excited to continue her education through a different perspective. Since learning about Huertas as a Sophomore when she was taking a class with Professor Rachael Montesano, Julissa has wanted to get involved with Huertas. For her, joining Huertas has largely come from a deep appreciation of Latin American culture and a desire to connect with more people from Central America. Being of Guatemalan heritage and having lived in Mexico during a semester abroad, building experiences here in Vermont with farmworkers from these countries is personally paramount to Julissa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked what she is most excited about, Julissa responded with \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to making personal connections\u2026I think it\u2019s a really beautiful thing that these people can be living so far apart from their families, but the connection is still so strong. I just want to be around Mexican culture because it\u2019s so warm.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But beyond these personal drivers, Julissa\u2019s ambitions directly relate to the work she hopes to do with Huertas and in the future. In particular, Julissa intends to go back to school to study immigration law. When she was at UVM, she became very interested in systematic oppression and wants to be able to provide support for those with less power. She believes that Huertas will give her the chance to hear actual stories and create connections to the same marginalized groups that she hopes to advocate for later on. Moreover, through being a field intern for Huertas, she wants to become a more involved member of her community and introduce herself to other organizations that align with her beliefs and goals in life. Living in Vermont, this also entails getting to know people in the community who are directly affected by Vermont-specific issues and policies that impact migrant farmworkers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a1Conoce a Julissa!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Julissa se gradu\u00f3 el a\u00f1o pasado con un licenciatura en sociolog\u00eda, y se une al equipo de Huertas como una becaria de campo. Est\u00e1 emocionada a continuar su educaci\u00f3n a trav\u00e9s de una perspectiva diferente. Desde que aprend\u00eda de Huertas en su segundo a\u00f1o de la universidad en una clase de Profesora Rachael Montesano, Julissa ha querido involucrarse con Huertas. Para ella, unirse a Huertas viene fundamentalmente de una profunda apreciaci\u00f3n de la cultura de Latina America y un deseo de conectar con m\u00e1s gente de Am\u00e9rica Central. Por ser de una herencia guatemalteca y por haber vivido en M\u00e9xico durante un semestre en el extranjero, para Julissa la construcci\u00f3n de las experiencias aqu\u00ed en Vermont con los trabajadores agr\u00edcolas de estos mismos pa\u00edses es personalmente primordial.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cuando se le pregunt\u00f3 sobre lo qu\u00e9 se le emocionada m\u00e1s por, Julissa dijo \u201cEstoy deseando hacer conexiones personales… Creo que es algo realmente hermoso que estas personas pueden estar viviendo tan lejos de sus familias, pero la conexi\u00f3n sigue siendo tan fuerte. Quiero estar cerca de la cultura mexicana porque es muy c\u00e1lida.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pero m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de estas razones personales, Las ambiciones de Julissa se relacionan directamente con el trabajo que espera hacer con Huertas y en el futuro. En particular, Julissa quiere volver a la escuela para estudiar la ley de la inmigraci\u00f3n. Cuando estaba en UVM, ella estaba muy interesada en la opresi\u00f3n sistem\u00e1tica y quiere ser capaz de proporcionar apoyo a aquellos con menos poder. Ella cree que Huertas le dar\u00e1 la oportunidad de escuchar a las historias reales y crear unas conexiones con los mismos grupos marginalizados con que espera abogar m\u00e1s adelante. Adem\u00e1s, a trav\u00e9s de ser una becaria de campo para Huertas, quiere convertirse en una miembro m\u00e1s involucrada de su comunidad y presentarse a otras organizaciones que se alinean con sus creencias y metas en la vida. Viviendo en Vermont, esto tambi\u00e9n implica conocer a gente de la comunidad que es directamente afectada por problemas y pol\u00edticas espec\u00edficos de Vermont que afectan a los trabajadores agr\u00edcolas migrantes.
