Hi, my name is Elisa. I am a third-year Political Science major. Coming from Los Angeles to Merced was a big difference. As the middle child of five siblings, I had a blast being in or out of trouble. I had the chance to run my very own elementary class by going to UC Merced. I realized from that experience my passion is empowering and helping out the youth. As a Political Science major, I have explored my profession by attending a UCSA conference and joining a professional law fraternity. LA is home but without Merced, I won't have learned more about who I am and the opportunities I can do to get there.
