Hi everyone! My name Alejandra Magaña Gamero and I am a doctoral student in the Graduate School of Education at UCLA. My dissertation examines the experiences of Chicanas in graduate programs, particularly how they negotiate their educational and cultural identities. I received my Bachelors from Santa Clara University in Psychology and Ethnic Studies and my Masters in Education from UCLA. I am also the co-founder of Latinas Talk Dinero (@latinastalkdinero), an instagram financial literacy platform dedicated to providing quality finance education for individuals to transform their relationship with money and take control of their finances. Latinas Talk Dinero seeks to foster a welcoming space where folks learn and grow together via honest conversations that are free of judgment and culturally relevant.

I joined the Financial Wellness Team because I believe access to quality financial education should be available to all. I am so excited to be a part of this team and look forward to supporting graduate students in their financial wellness journeys.
