My name is Alexia Urias, and I’m a proud first-generation and transfer student from Pima Community College, now a senior at the University of Arizona majoring in Political Science with a minor in Spanish. I serve as an SBS Ambassador and also work as an independent contractor with CIAM (Centro de Información y Asistencia a Mexicanos) at the Consulate of Mexico in Tucson, where I provide resources and assistance to community members. I love being part of SBS because it has given me a community where I feel supported, seen, and connected. I became an Ambassador not only to represent first-generation students but also to support transfer students like myself. A fun fact about me is that I’ve been featured on the news several times for my community advocacy. My career goal is to work in public service and policy to uplift immigrant and Latinx communities.
