Biography:

Francisca is a proud Latina from the city of San Diego and is the first in her family to attend college. She is currently in her fourth year working towards a BS in psychology as well as a minor in science and math education. Francisca strongly believes there are no limits to what one can achieve and no one path to success. Therefore she is excited to share her personal experience as a UCSB undergraduate student to incoming students and help them make a home away from home. During her free time she enjoys walking along the nature trails at UCSB and exercising. She also enjoys watching cooking videos and expanding her culinary knowledge.
