Alejandro is a San Marcos High School alumni who benefited from the San Marcos Promise which led to him being accepted to CSU San Marcos despite his poor academic performance.

Alejandro is passionate about working with underrepresented, underserved, and marginalized student populations. He finds joy in supporting and mentoring students who resemble his own lived experience. He currently holds a role in a well known student affairs professional organization called the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators for their knowledge community that supports formerly incarcerated and system impacted families.
