Costa Rica, here we come!

Hello Glimpsers!

My name is Carolina Torres, I am a College and Career Counselor at Lodestar High School in Oakland, CA. This is my first year ever participating with Global Glimpse and I am super excited to co-lead with our other amazing GGL! I will be traveling to Costa Rica with your students, but I wanted to introduce myself first!

I am 27 years old and have been working in education for 5 years now. I am a first generation Latina who graduated from Cal State East Bay! I am the oldest daughter and have 2 little brothers, who are not so little anymore. They both attend San Jose State University. I started off in my education journey as an elemetary school librarian and worked my way up as a college advisor with UC Berkeley Destination College Advising Corps, Summer Search Bay Area, to now with Lighthouse Community Charters. I love what I do now, and my goal is to help students be open to endless opportunities when it comes to their post secondary planning. I am a big traveler as well! I have traveled to Mexico, Paris, Barcelona, London, Philippines, Puerto Rico, and now checking Costa Rica off my list!

I will be reaching out by next week to learn a little bit more about you and make sure everything is good to go before our trip. I am very grateful and excited to share this experience with you all! I cannot wait for our Global Glimpsers to have a new perspective when it comes to traveling the world!

Big love!

Caro
