Hello! My name is Oriana Estrada, I look forward to having some of you in class! A little about myself: I was born in Nicaragua, but have spent most my life in Seattle. I am multi-racial and multicultural, and this played a huge part in my choice to study Sociology in undergrad at The University of Washington. I have always been fascinated by racial identity, race relations, culture and socialization. Studying sociology gave me an opportunity to deconstruct how society is set up and come to a deeper analysis and understanding of the social inequalities I witnessed growing up.
After undergrad, I spent five years working in direct social services with homeless families before returning to UW to receive my master’s in social work. I currently teach both Sociology and a few Cultural and Ethnic Studies classes at BC. When I’m not at Bellevue College I’m usually either practicing or performing music and dance with various groups in the Seattle area.
I hope to meet you in one of my classes!
