Hi everyone! My name is Samantha Carrillo, and I'm currently a junior double majoring in Sociology and Spanish. I'm originally from Riverside, California, where I grew up in a predominantly Hispanic community that shaped my passion for education, culture, and giving back to my community. Outside of school, I love spending time with friends and family, going to cycling classes, reading, traveling, and trying new coffee shops and restaurants. I also enjoy exploring new places, whether that's around the Bay Area or around the world! As your Director of Professional Development, I'm excited to help create opportunities that make career development feel approachable and accessible. Whether it's resumes, networking, internships, interview preparation, or simply figuring out your next steps, I hope to provide resources and workshops that help you feel more confident in your professional journey. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you ever have questions, need advice, or just want to chat! I’m always happy to help! I can't wait to meet everyone and make this an amazing semester together!
