Hello, I’m Selma De Anda Gallegos, and I am an Academic Navigator for the College of Engineering! I grew up in South Sioux City, Nebraska, and I'm a proud first-generation college grad!

I got my bachelor’s degree in Nutrition, Exercise, and Health Science from UNL, and then went on to earn my master’s in Child, Youth, and Family Studies with a focus on Youth Development. Before joining the College of Engineering, I worked with one of UNL’s TRIO pre-college programs, helping students prepare for the college experience.

Whether it’s Snoopy or coffee, I’m all about the things that bring a little happiness to my day. I’m also bilingual in Spanish, so feel free to reach out in the language you’re most comfortable with. I’m here to support you—whether you have questions, need guidance, or just want to talk, my door is always open. Looking forward to connecting with you!
