About
My name is Marissa Flores. I am a first-generation Latina from Los Angeles, California. I am currently a second-year double major in Biology and Chicanx Studies at UC Santa Barbara. My main contributions to community service include serving as a mentor in the UCSB FUERZA Outreach Program and as a summer camp counselor at a local summer camp in Los Angeles for over 4 years. Within these opportunities, I aim to help Latinos and inspire them to take up space in higher education. My professional goals include becoming a pediatrician and opening up a private practice in a sanctuary city within Los Angeles, similar to the city of my upbringing.
