My favorite part of this job is talking to students: in person, on Zoom, or over email. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you want to talk about your academic, career, or life goals! I am also a slug alumna, and someone who got a lot out of my undergraduate experience here. I can't wait to help you make the most of your time at UCSC!

Hey folks! My name is Marissa and I am a Latin American/Latino Studies and Feminist Studies double major. I am a community organizer from San Francisco, mainly organizing with the Committee In Solidarity With the People of El Salvador but organizing in the Latine Mission District more broadly. Currently, I’m working on my senior thesis on gender relations in Cuba. Please reach out to me if you need advice on classes or even on how to find ways to fund educational travel and research. I can’t wait to get to know you all!
