Jessica Parra Serena Graduate Community Coordinator – Phase II
- Graduate Assistant
Jessica Parra Serena was born and raised in Mexico, where she began her studies in Economics before completing a double degree in Business Administration in the United States. Living and studying in two countries gave me a rich multicultural perspective and fueled my passion for data analysis and economics, leading Jessica to pursue a master's in business analytics at East Texas A&M. My goal is to continue developing my skills to become a strategic asset in any organization she joins.
How do you help students at East Texas A&M?
