Greetings! I am a first-generation Filipino-American graduate of California State University, Fullerton. My on-campus experiences working in several departments, from orientation to housing, impacted my life so tremendously that I stayed at Fullerton after graduation, where I am currently pursuing my MS in Higher Education and am scheduled to graduate in May 2025. With nearly five years of student affairs experience across orientation, housing and residence life, student government, DEI programming, and student conduct, I reflect on my own educational experiences to help encourage the students I serve to become the best versions of themselves and maximize their college experiences!
