FEATURED ALUMNI
Meet Janelle Atienza '17! She is an Education Liaison at the National Center for Youth Law in San Jose
Briefly, what do you do?
As an Education Liaison, I guide juvenile justice-involved high school youth towards graduation and their next steps. I also advocate for their education rights and build capacity for youth and families to advocate for themselves.
What is the best part of your job?
I would say my favorite parts are the aha moments, when I can see a light bulb switch in a student’s mind, or a glimmer of hope in their eyes. It’s a moment when youth realize they are capable of more than they ever imagined or that their reality is changing for the better. The best part is witnessing youth who have been discouraged, profiled, and underestimated, transform after realizing their potential and value.
How did Saint Mary's prepare you for your job?
Sociology, ethnic studies, the High Potential program, the Intercultural Center. All of these spaces and the incredible friends and mentors I met at SMC taught me the skills to be an activist through the #EndTheSilence student movement, a movement that taught me what it truly means to think critically, advocate for marginalized communities, organize people power, and impact lasting change.
