Ashley
Pronouns: She, her, hers
Hey everyone! My name is Ashley Osorio, and I’m a graduate from El Camino High School.
I almost didn’t come to MiraCosta due to self-doubt and being a first-generation college
student, I didn’t have anyone who knew the ropes who could really help me throughout
the transition from high school to college. Luckily, I have parents who are very supportive
and big believers in me which is my drive. I am planning on transferring to UCSC next
year through the TAG program, and I am majoring in Sociology. I love spending time
with my loved ones and friends, but I also value time alone in order to recharge myself
(I’m an ambivert). My interests include watching documentaries on Netflix, getting
creative through calligraphy or painting, and bonding with my Bulldog, Benji.
Pamela
Pronouns: She, her, hers
Hi everyone, my name is Pamela Miranda. My major is psychology but I am looking into
other options as well. I would like to transfer to UCSD if I continue with a psychology
degree. I enjoy my alone time more than being with others. Most of the things I like
to do can be pretty solitary. I like to hang out with my cat Manchas and garden as
he follows me around. I also like arts and crafts but am always very judgmental of
what I made. I cook and bake kind of often but can be a one trick pony when it comes
to the recipes.
Joanna
Pronouns: She, her, hers
Hello everyone, my name is Joanna Valdez and I graduated from Rancho Buena Vista High
School. I'm a first-generation college student and I plan to transfer by fall 2021.
My major is Political Science and I hope to minor in Spanish. I’m still indecisive
about my career goals but I know that I want to use my knowledge to advocate for my
community. Currently, I am co-chair of Latina Leadership and I’m involved in M.E.CH.A.
During my free time I enjoy dancing, hiking, painting, as well as hanging out with
friends and family. I’m looking forward to working in the SJEC and learning from this
amazing team!
Natalia
Pronouns: She, her, hers, ella
Hi everyone! My name is Natalia Flores. I’m a first-generation college student and
a former El Camino High School graduate. My major is sociology and although I’m not
entirely sure what I want to do careerwise, I do know that I want to keep spreading
compassion and support within society to help make the world a better place. Aside
from working at the SJEC, I am also a part of PUENTE. I am still on the road of self-discovery
so I do not have many hobbies but as of lately I have been learning more about spirituality,
listening to a lot of R&B, listening to spoken word poetry and watching different
crime shows/documentaries on Netflix. I cannot wait to grow alongside the SJEC team
and continue to learn more about myself and others.
Lizbeth

Hello everyone, my name is Lizbeth Reyes! I am a 2020 graduate from El Camino High
School. I am a first-generation college student majoring in Public Health with Concentration
in Medicine Science. I hope to become an obstetrics and gynaecology (OB/GYN) and transfer
to UC San Diego. During my free time I love to binge watching Netflix and Hulu along
with hanging out with my family and friends. My self-interest includes TikTok, Instagram
and Snapchat. I am extremely thrilled to be an intern for SJEC and can’t wait to thrive
alongside our wonderful team!
Gigi

Hello everyone! My name is Gelila Yoseph, also known as Gigi and I graduated from
CATS Academy Boston. My major is Studio Arts with an emphasis in Graphic Design. My
goal is to eventually become a Creative Director either in an advertisement company
or entertainment industry and I plan on using my artistic skills to bring awareness
to Social Justice related issues. During my free time, I enjoy hanging out with friends,
doing some creative writing, reading books about spirituality, listening to music,
and watching shows.
Madi
Pronouns: She, her, hers
Hi there! My name is Madi Logan and I’m a second-year student at MiraCosta. I’m a
communication major and am transferring in the Fall of 2021. I am passionate about
environmental sustainability, fashion, BLM, countering domestic and sexual violence.
I want to go to law school after finishing my undergraduate degree to pursue a career
as a prosecutor of sex crimes. I want to give survivors the voice they’ve never been
given the opportunity to have and so rightfully deserve. I love making pottery (I
have a pottery wheel in my garage) and spending time with my friends (distanced, of
course!). I also like to draw while binging a good Netflix show and am super interested
in fashion. My family and friends are super important to me, they are my rocks and
I couldn't do everything I do without them!
