Jessica Candelaria

I am the Caseworker for Aggieland Pregnancy Outreach. Originally from New Mexico, I moved to College Station four years ago. I have an amazing husband, born and raised in the Bryan, College Station area and a daughter we are very proud of. I graduated with my Bachelors in Criminal Justice from New Mexico State University. 

As a teen parent myself, I know the importance of community programs like APO. They played a vital role in my life and my success. Having the support, staying connected to local resources and keeping my faith in God helped become the woman I am today. 

I want to use my story to give guidance, lend support and be an advocate for their rights. It is my passion to empower and encourage teen parents to go after their dreams, and never give up.
