Hello!! I'm a third year, Biological Sciences major, and proud first-gen student. Outside of SOAR, I love outdoor activities, dancing folklorico, and spending quality time with friends and family.

I joined SOAR to support fellow students throughout their UCI journey and to advocate for underrepresented communities. I wanted to be a part of SOAR's mission to ensure students graduate within four years by providing essential resources and peer consultations. The SOAR office truly stood out to me on campus and has brightened my time at UCI!

Hi! I'm a third-year Psychological science and social ecology double major. When I'm not at the SOAR Center, I enjoy binge-watching shows and going to the beach at night. I joined SOAR because I wanted to work one-on-one with my fellow peers here on campus and be able to guide or impact my mentees to some greater outcome. I see this as also an opportunity to get involved with student involvement here on campus..

Hi, my Name is Kelly Amador Villarreal from San Diego, CA and I am a second year double major in Education Sciences and Sociology. In my freetime I like to go to the beach, take walks with my favorite music playing and crochet! I joined SOAR because I have always loved mentoring others and sharing knowledge, so I hope to be a small but positive part of students’ educational journey as a mentor! If you have any questions about changing your major, double majoring, course planning, summer session, the Honors Collegium or finding resources I'm here for you!

Hola! My name is Brenda, and I am a fourth year studying Sociology and Education Sciences. I am from the Coachella Valley, and am obsessed with finding the best matcha spots (I am very picky about my matcha). I joined SOAR because I love to work with fellow students and understand the difficulties of navigating higher education, especially as a first generation and low income student.
