About Ángel
As a self-identified first generation queer Latinx scholar, my passion lies in making a difference in my comunidad through my education. I am son to immigrant parents, Guadalupe y Miguel Ángel. As the brother to three sisters, a tio to seven nieces and nephews, I carry them wherever I go, in all that I do. My familia are the foundation and pillars of my successes, they are at the heart of who I am.
I was born and raised in South LA, South Gate and Bell Gardens, California. I want to empower individuals to reach their highest potential by fostering environments that advocate for social justice and equity. My passion to support Latinxs is innate to who I am, and reflection of my owned lived experience which creates the catalyst that moves me forward to pave the way para los que siguen. |
I earned an M.A in Post-Secondary Educational Leadership with a Specialization in Student Affairs from San Diego State University (SDSU) and received a B.A. from Whittier College where I doubled majored in Environmental Science and Spanish.
