Maria Jurado
Counselor, Puente
Bienvenidos/Welcome to Norco College!
I am glad you have chosen to continue your educational journey at Norco College. My
name is Maria Jurado, and I am the Puente Counselor.
Allow me share a little bit about myself. I was born in Quito, Ecuador and came to
California with my family when I was three years old. As much as my parents wanted
me to succeed academically, they were unable to help me because they didn’t understand
the college process. I relied on my counselors to guide me. This is the main reason
I became a counselor, to help students that were once in my shoes. This is also why
I love Puente. Puente is a program that helps underrepresented students transfer to
a four-year university.
Navigating the college system can be overwhelming but we are happy to help! 😊
