Whitney Hadiwono Ibarra

Staff Coordinator

Whitney Hadiwono Ibarra (she/her/hers) is the Staff Coordinator for the UC Consortium on AAPI Policy and Community Partnerships. She also serves as the Internship and Community Partnership Coordinator at AAPI Data. She was born and raised in Southern California and received her B.A. in Business Administration with double concentration in marketing and general management at California State University, Fullerton. After working for a few years, she was drawn back to higher education and earned her M.Ed. in Postsecondary Administration and Student Affairs at the University of Southern California.

As a first-generation, Chinese-Indonesian American woman, Whitney wanted to support the AAANHPI community through her work. During her master’s program, she did research with USC’s Asian Pacific American Student Services (APASS) on Southeast Asian American students’ sense of belonging at a private, predominately white, four-year institution. Her research led to the Southeast Asian Initiative, where there is specialized programming for this community.

Whitney also serves as the NASPA Asian Pacific Islanders Knowledge Community (APIKC) Region VI Representative, where she oversees a committee to create programming and resources for AANHPI-identifying professionals in higher education. Her higher education experience and passion for the AANHPI community provides her insight and knowledge that makes her the ideal Staff Coordinator for the UC Consortium on AAPI Policy and Community Partnerships.
