Amaya Atencio

Growing up in the San Luis Valley, I graduated from Alamosa High School in 2019, where I achieved a significant milestone by winning the state championship in Class 3A Girl's Shot Put during my junior year.

In the fall of 2019, I began my academic journey at Trinidad State College, quickly immersing myself in the institution’s vibrant community. My experience as a work-study in the Learning Center deepened my appreciation for how TSC supports students in navigating their educational paths. This formative experience ignited my passion for higher education and inspired me to join the TSC team.

Currently, I serve as an Outreach and Student Engagement Coordinator, where I am dedicated to enhancing the college experience for both current and prospective students. In this role, I focus on creating an environment that fosters a strong sense of belonging and supports the personal and academic growth of the college community.
