Gema Cervantes

Scholars program Coordinator

Gema is passionate about helping 1st generation students receive an education. As a first-generation high school and college grad, she understands the importance of receiving a higher education. She moved from the Chicagoland area to Colorado to pursue her career in higher education.

In Aurora, Illinois, Gema was a freshman admissions counselor for a private institution serving both of her alma maters. She plans to continue her education at home to one day also be the first to receive their doctoral degree.

In her free time, Gema enjoys visiting the movie theaters for the newest movie to be played. She’s always up for a hike or exploring a new place that many may have not or camping in ghost towns.
