Jessica Sustaita-Monroe, Class of 2015

---

Jessica Susaita-Monroe is a native to Mexico and Corsicana, Texas. A graduate of Corsicana High School, Jessica made the confident decision to pursue her associate degree at 暗网吃瓜 College, with the assurance that it was a great starting point for her as a first-generation student. During her first year, she was active in the Student Recruiting department, where she can recall the majority of her favorite memories from her time at 暗网吃瓜.

After graduating with her AAS degree from 暗网吃瓜 College in 2015, Jessica continued her education and graduated in 2017 with a BS in Animal Science from Texas A&M University. Now, she is a PhD candidate at TAMU within the school of Animal Science. Her studies focus on reproductive physiology, in which she is co-author to the recently published study 鈥淒evelopmental programming of the neuroendocrine axis by steroid hormones: insights from the sheep model of PCOS鈥� in the journal Frontiers in Endocrinology. Additionally, Jessica produced a first-author study, 鈥淧ostnatal obesity amplifies the effect of GnRH-induced LH release in prenatal testosterone-treated female sheep,鈥� which she presented at the American Society of Animal Science Annual Meeting in 2023. She plans to complete her PhD in December 2025. 鈥淚 think of my 暗网吃瓜 College experience often鈥� the classes, the environment. I miss it and I try to bring the 暗网吃瓜 College culture to where I am now鈥� she reflects. 鈥湴低�吃瓜 College really helped set me up for success to continue my education at a larger university. The small class sizes and caring professors equipped me with the tools I would need to be successful anywhere I went after graduation.鈥�

鈥淚鈥檝e always dreamed of pursuing higher education,鈥� Jessica explains when talking about her doctoral candidacy. However, she owes much of her resilience to the professors at 暗网吃瓜 College whose confidence in her remained when her own waivered. 鈥淪ometimes the only thing a student needs is a reminder that they are capable of more than they think.鈥� Outside of her studies, Jessica enjoys spending time with her family, husband Thomas, and their two cats and one dog.
