“Hello! My name is Guadalupe Contreras (Lupe for short) and I am thrilled to be joining the UFC team as a College Counselor! I graduated from UC Santa Barbara with a Bachelors in Sociology and received my Masters in Rehabilitation Counseling with a certificate in Higher Education from CSULA. It has always been my passion to create college accessibility and close the gaps for the most marginalized individuals in our society. I am honored to join a team that is committed to creating positive systemic change. I’ve worked with students from Kindergarten to College students and I’ve realized how unique their needs are. When I am not working, I enjoy going to the gym, hanging with family and friends, and exploring new places to eat!”
