Meet Kim Sanchez

College Program Associate, Los Angeles | ksanchez@yesscholars.org

Kim was born and raised in Los Angeles and is a YES Alumna. She began her journey as a HYPE Scholar during her middle school years in Camino Nuevo. She then went on to attend MUSE School in Calabasas for High School, and is a Class of '25 graduate from Wesleyan University.

While at Wesleyan, she was part of the Latin American Student Organization, many social activist groups on campus, and worked in Psychology labs to investigate the effects of return migration and the lack of healthcare access for mixed-status families. Kim graduated with a BA in Psychology and Hispanic Literatures and Cultures.

She hopes to continue the YES mission, to inspire students, and be able to give back to an organization that has provided her with many opportunities, and to foster community and support for students who are now going through the same process she once went through.
