Eileen Mata is incredibly excited to be Lead College Advisor with ASP at Seagoville High School! She grew up in Oak Cliff and is an ASP alum. She is a first-generation college graduate who attended the University of Texas at Dallas and double majored in Cognitive Science as well as Child Learning and Development.
Eileen has always had a passion for learning, the brain, and higher education. In college, she was so elated by the opportunity to attend, that she decided she wanted to help others do the same. She started her career as a G-Force mentor placed at W. T. White High School, working alongside ASP to help students go to college. Following this impactful experience, she conducted research on first-generation college students to better understand factors of success. She also leaned into brain science, diving into teenage brain wiring and the impacts of background on information intake. Her research has informed her advising and has helped her serve students in her community better. Eileen benefited from quality advising, and she intends to give back by providing the same.
When she is not working with students, Eileen is spending time with her husband and three-legged dog, Benito (yes, after Bad Bunny!) She also enjoys spending time outdoors, participating in two book clubs, and traveling whenever she can.

Josue Salcedo was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. He attended KIPP Charter Schools for middle school before moving to Connecticut for high school through the A Better Chance Program. Afterward, he returned to Texas and attended Texas A&M University, where he graduated in December 2024 with a degree in International Studies and a specialization in Politics and Diplomacy. He has interned in various industries, but his true passion lies in nonprofit work.
Josue knew from the moment he graduated that he wanted to work in the nonprofit sector. He especially wanted to become an advisor because, as a first-generation student, he worked very hard and received support from multiple organizations throughout middle school and high school. Their guidance made a huge difference in his life, and he hopes to be a similar source of encouragement and change for the students he serves.
Outside of work, Josue enjoys traveling and has visited more than 7 countries! He speaks both English and Spanish, minored in French during college, and had the opportunity to live in France while studying abroad. In his free time, Josue likes to stay active through scenic runs, pickleball with friends, and dance classes.

I’m thrilled to begin my first year with ASP at Seagoville High School! As the first person in my family to attend college, I majored in Linguistics and minored in Japanese at Dartmouth College with a full ride through the Questbridge Scholarship. For the past two years, I have lived in rural Japan teaching English to high school students. Coming from a small liberal arts school, I understand the benefit of personalized attention from counselors when creating your academic plan. At Dallas ISD, I hope to provide that same attention and care to as many students as possible.
In my spare time, I enjoy reading, studying languages, and cooking Cajun food.
