Yerliana Reyna

Yerliana Reyna was born and raised in the Dominican Republic. She moved to the Bronx, New York, in 2005, where she finished high school and completed both her bachelor's degree in psychology and master’s degree in school counseling with a certification in bilingual school counseling. In August of 2020, she moved with her family to Iowa. Yerliana has experienced first-hand the different flavors of life during her many life transitions: from moving at a young age to a different country to learning a different language and adapting to a different culture. Yet she conquered all different barriers that she has encountered. Yerliana takes her learning experiences as opportunities to guide the younger generations. Yerliana is also becoming an active advocate for the Latino community in Central Iowa. She is constantly supporting those around her to achieve their goals. She believes in the power of motivation and consistency and that the right time will come whenever you are ready to move on.
