Maxine Chamberlin is thrilled to serve in her second year as a College Advisor for W.T. White High School. She was born and raised in Dallas County and graduated from Texas Tech University where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology with minors in Spanish and Chemistry. After graduating from Texas Tech, Mrs. Chamberlin worked in two psychology research laboratories including a Schizophrenia and Bipolar lab in the Psychology department of the University of Texas at Dallas.
As a first generation student herself, she understands how difficult and daunting the college process can be especially when you don’t have someone to guide you, and is determined to help teach students about all opportunities that are available to them. She wants students to know that they can pursue their own dreams and futures. She strongly believes that every student, regardless of their background, deserves the chance to go to a college that will support them fully.
Although she loves editing her students essays whenever she can, in her free time Mrs. Chamberlin enjoys watching scary movies with her husband and cuddling up on her couch with her two cats: Anakin & Pancake. She also loves crocheting gifts for her family and friends, and reading as many scary books as she can get her hands on.

Daniela Garcia is thrilled to be a part of the ASP team at W.T. White. She grew up in the northwest Dallas region. As a Dallas ISD alumni, she attended the University of North Texas where she received a Bachelor in Social Work and continued her education at the University of Texas at Arlington where she received her Masters in Social Work.
Ms. Garcia previously worked with families in the North Texas region educating them about the resources that were available to them in the community. She programmed monthly family workshops focused on mental health awareness, financial literacy, and college readiness. These workshops allowed hard-working families to become part of their student’s academic environment during after-school hours. This grew her passion to empower, support, and encourage students to achieve their dreams.
When she isn’t working on making education accessible for students of all social and economic backgrounds, she enjoys nature walks and hikes, and spending quality time with family and friends.
