Hello! I'm Jessica a senior at UCSB studying sociology with a minor in education that's sad to say goodbye to my undergrad years in the spring. I'm from the Inland Empire so moving to the beach is a huge step and a decision I'm grateful my parents pushed me to take. Usually you can find me at the UCEN with friends, walking along campus point beach, or tabling at the arbor walkway! I've explored so much of this school and want to spend the time I have left on this beautiful campus as an undergrad sharing that with others. I'm open to any questions, love to get my steps (20k daily goal), and want to convince you why this school is the best choice for your future gaucho!

Describe your college experience

In college I've found meaningful relationships I never would've found back home.

Tip for future students

Don't hide away in your dorm immediately as much as you'd want to. Do hard things, talk to people.

Favorite class

Favorite class was an education of leadership course I took. It taught me about myself, the world around me, basic EQ, and other things I've found helpful to use in life now.

Career goals

Behavioral specialist or youth program director of some kind.

Ideal way to spend a free night

Hanging out with friends watching a ridiculous movie with good snacks
