Meet the TSC Student Staff!

Hello everyone, My name is Carolina Llerenas. I am a 3rd year currently majoring in psychology. I am super excited to be one of the peer mentors this year to provide support and guidance for you all.

Hello! My name is Joseph Enriquez and I’m a fourth-year pre-med student majoring in Psychological Science. I transferred from El Camino College in Torrance, CA, and joined UCI as part of the Chancellor’s Distinguished Scholars Program.

Outside of academics, I’m passionate about long-distance running, mountaineering, and learning new languages. That said, one of my favorite things to do at UCI is take quiet walks just before sunset, when the hills surrounding campus glow in the evening light.

My experience at UCI has been overwhelmingly positive, and as your Transfer Peer Educator, my goal is to help incoming students feel supported and empowered to create their own meaningful experience here as well.

Hi I am Inez and I am currently studying Politcal Science and minoring in Urban Studies! I am from the border town El Centro and have found myself here at UCI. My UCI experience has been a rollercoaster but I am grateful to be able to have access to higher education and look forward towards the future. During my time here I have interned for UCI’s Special Collections and Archives and attending UCDC for the winter quarter 24. I want to create a community for FYRE scholars and hope to be a helping hand during this transition.

Hi! My name is Olivia Clark, and I am a second year Film and Media Studies and Physics double major. I am originally from Riverside County and have really been enjoying my time at UCI. I will be a peer mentor for FYRE students and am so excited to work with everyone and help to make UCI a welcoming environment for all students.

Hi I am Alejandra and I am currently a 4th year majoring in Psychological Science. I transferred from Pasadena City College with an Associates in Psychology and Social and Behavioral Sciences. During my first year at UCI, I became a part of many on campus activities such as being an intern for ASUCI, a mentee for the ACE program, and a fundraising member for LSPA. I’m passionate about building strong interpersonal relationships and love meeting new people, exploring new places, and creating lasting memories. As a Peer Educator, my goal is to support transfer students by helping them access the resources, community, and guidance they need to thrive at UCI. I hope to use my own experiences to motivate and uplift others as they navigate their own journey.

Feel free to ask me anything transfer or nonacademic related!
