Name: Audriana Alvarado (she/ella)

Year 1- Writing Course Co-Instructor

Position: Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Education/English Language Arts Educator at Harrison High School

Why I wanted to be a part of Stroud: I am proud to have been raised in Southeast Colorado Springs and to be a Colorado College alumna '18. Through my educational path, I have seen the disparities in our community's access to higher education. Being part of Stroud to me, means combining our communities and providing academic preparation and mentorship to students of various backgrounds an opportunity from an early start.

One piece of advice I’d give to high schoolers: Follow your heart and mind. Live a life that makes you happy.  You have always been enough and you are capable.
