ACADEMIC BACKGROUND
Jochebed holds a Bachelor's degree in Sociology from the University of Maryland, College Park. Her previous work looks at the black middle class and the value of education, as well as the examination of how the mainstream media frames the educational outcomes of African American boys. Her current interests lie in studying the experiences of first-generation and minority students in higher education. Particularly, she is interested in understanding the role of the 'hidden curriculum' in higher education and the ways in which these students gain knowledge of the hidden curriculum to successfully navigate post-secondary institutions.

In her spare time, Jochebed volunteers as a youth leader in her community and enjoys music and singing.
