Surviving Burn Out (w/ Diana Magaña, MA)

We interview our very own resident Brown Girl! Diana Magaña is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Education at UC Santa Barbara and fellow co-host for the " A Brown Girl and a White Girl" podcast. Diana received a B.A. in English and a B.A. in Education Sciences from UC Irvine and an M.A. in Sociology and Education from Teachers College, Columbia University. She was an Administrative Assistant for a TRIO Upward Bound program for a year prior to beginngin her doctoral degree. Her research interests largely revolve around the postsecondary experiences of first-generation Latinx college students, with a specific focus on how systems of support, whether they be social or institutional, influence the postsecondary experiences of first-generation Latina/o/x students and their eventual success. Her current research focuses on the relationships between first-generation Latina students and the role that parents and familial support play in undergraduate postsecondary experiences. In her free time, Diana enjoys binge watching family focused TV dramas, cross stitching, and keeping up with the British royals.
