Peer Leader in the Regional Office

Monica Buenrostro completed a College Summit workshop in the summer of 2008 as a peer leader at the University of California, Berkeley. In 2010 she returned to work as an Alumni Leader and again this summer as the Northern California Regional Intern. When asked what was your biggest challenge in working with College Summit, her response:  “I’ve been through a lot with College Summit, but the biggest challenge I’ve experienced was being convinced of every single good thing that College Summit staff has said about me. I think they see ‘success’ in me.”

Monica currently attends Chabot Community College and hopes to transfer to a four year university within the next year. Monica is an East Bay Consortium and East Oakland Youth Development Center scholarship recipient and has a long term goal of becoming a doctor. She is extremely interested in staying involved with College Summit and taking on more leadership roles in the future.
