Jocelyne (Jashy) Olguin grew up not only bilingual, but also bicultural. She was born in the United States but was raised in Mexico, with a binational upbringing in the borderlands of Sonora and Arizona. She commuted everyday from her hometown in Nogales, Sonora to attend school in Nogales, Arizona. In 2013 she moved to San Diego to attend the University of San Diego. During college, Jocelyne found her passion for social justice and her love for community engagement. In 2015, she became a student leader for the Beyond Borders team at the Mulvaney Center for Community, Awareness and Social Action, where she hoped to spread awareness about border issues. In this role, she coordinated immersion trips on both the San Diego and Tijuana regions as well as visits to unaccompanied minors shelters. In May 2017, she graduated with a BA in Business Administration and a Minor in Political Science.
After college she spent two years as an Americorps Volunteer with Bayside Community Center and Via International. In February of 2020, she joined the Mulvaney Center full time as the Beyond Borders Program Coordinator. Her work focused on connecting students with community organizations that work to address border challenges and opportunities. After two years in the role she is now expanding her support for student engagement as Assistant Director of Student Leadership and Learning where she will be supporting students as they grow in their leadership development. Jashy continues to live a transborder life and is happy to be a resource for those interested in engaging across the border. She oversees Mulvaney Center’s crossborder work and initiatives, including the MICAH Fellowship in Tijuana and the expansion of USD’s Tijuana Hub.
