Victoria Rocha graduated from UC Irvine in June 2020 majoring in Education Sciences and Psychological Sciences. While at UCI, she was involved in the Student Parent Orientation Program, the Student Alumni Association, and worked at the Registrar's office as well. During her undergraduate experience, she found her passion for working with students and specifically with the role of mentorship. She is excited to be part of this team and grateful to be working with amazing student leaders on campus. A fun fact about her is that she studied abroad in Rome, Italy, in the Summer of 2018 for six weeks!
