WHY ACADEMIC ADVISING:

Being a first generation student, I had to learn how to navigate the higher education system on my own. After joining EOPS at Oxnard College (OC), I met with an amazing team of counselors that equipped me with the tools to successfully navigate through OC and California State University, Northridge (CSUN). 

 

I am excited to help other students learn how to navigate the complexities that the higher education system brings. I want to help students explore their academic interests, pursue opportunities and promote their growth holistically.

 

HOBBIES/INTERESTS:

I enjoy hiking, camping, and being outdoors with my family and dog, Rocket. I also love to bake and try new cooking recipes. I love spending time with my family, friends and Nico (my cat).

WHY ACADEMIC ADVISING:

I was once a student not knowing which direction to go in. I did not know that I could lean on a team for support. I want students to know that I am here to cheer them on and to support them throughout their academic journey at 91³Ô¹ÏÍø!

 

HOBBIES/INTERESTS:

I love the beach and bodyboarding; anything makeup; being a mami; and most recently - reading!

Master of Science: Counseling & College Student Personnel

 

WHY ACADEMIC ADVISING:

Visualizing this career path, I am greatly inspired by the first-generation college experience and how many of these students are often disadvantaged due to the absence of cultural capital on institutional knowledge. As a first-generation Latina college student on my way to earning a master's degree, I have experienced this firsthand. This has allowed me to understand what it’s like to navigate higher education without clear guidance or much familiarity with institutional resources. 

 

Reflecting on my experiences, I found myself drawn to becoming a resource for students navigating higher education. I aim to transform myself into an aid, serving as a pillar of support by meaningfully contributing to students' academic and personal development.

 

HOBBIES/INTERESTS:

In my free time, I enjoy watching movies and shows from all genres and mediums, attending concerts, and listening to music.

WHY ACADEMIC ADVISING:

I chose academic advising because I felt a personal connection to it through my own higher education journey. In many ways, I feel like academic advising chose me, much like my English degree did. I found myself drawn to helping students navigate their own paths, discover their goals, and feel supported along the way.

 

HOBBIES/INTERESTS:

My hobbies include gardening, gaming, DIY projects, crafting and art, reading and collecting beautiful books, going to renaissance fairs, Pokemon card collecting and spending time with my two cats Draino and Nova.
