On a mission for social justice and equity, Janelle hopes to increase student persistence, graduation, and access to higher education in partnership and collaboration with students. Born and raised in Carson, California, they’re proud to work at CSUDH.

As an undergraduate at UCLA, they discovered their passion and commitment to community organizing which has only grown deeper through the years since they graduated in 2011 with a B.A. in Sociology and a minor in Education.

Janelle loves dedicating time and an insatiable curiosity to their many interests, including painting and being creative, social theory, Game of Thrones lore, and mental health advocacy. They share their home with two silly cats with whom they are obsessed.
