Mireya Zamora is thrilled to be returning to Moises E. Molina High School as a second year college advisor! Mireya is a born and raised Dallas-ite and first generation Latina who is passionate about helping her community, especially students, learn and strive for more than what they’ve been given. Being a daughter of immigrants, Mireya had little guidance of the college journey but knew it was something she wanted. After attending community college, she transferred to The University of Texas at Austin. Although she enjoyed her time at UT, she wants her students to strive for more and get the full university experience with the least amount of debt as possible. In her free time, she enjoys going to small business markets and trying new food places in the Dallas area.

While she is aware of the challenges that lie ahead for students applying to college, she is prepared to show up and support them to ease the anxieties that the application process can bring.
