Meet your SGA Officers

Jenny Maldonado-Castro – President

Hi everyone! My name is Jenny and I am a second year student here at Carteret CC. Thanks to our campus’s incredible TRIO and C-Step programs I will be transferring to UNC-Chapel Hill next year to pursue a Marketing and Communications degree. I am from Morehead City – born and raised – but ethnically I am Honduran. I love seeing live music around town and jump at any chance I get to travel to see bigger shows. I also enjoy hosting dinner parties for my friends and loved ones. In my free time, you can usually find me reading, thrifting, or sitting by the sound. If you see me around campus feel free to say hello!
