Counseling Assistant
 Hello! Hola! My name is Marisol Raquel Gutierrez. I am originally from Modesto, CA, located in the central valley. I am excited to be a first year Counseling Assistant. I will be working both at the College Academic Counseling (CAC) of Letters and Science and the Academic Advancement Program (AAP).
I completed my undergraduate education at UCSD with a major in Political Science and a minor is Spanish Literature. I studied abroad in Mexico City at UNAM for one year and conducted field research in Jalisco, Mexico during my senior year. I am currently a second year doctoral student in Political Science. My two sub-fields are Race, Ethnicity, and Politics (REP) and Comparative Politics, and my research interests are immigration, U.S.-Mexico relations, migrant politics, indigenous political organizations, transnationalism, and citizenship.
On a more personal note, I enjoy traveling, salsa dancing, painting, running, and especially reading. Some of my favorite authors are Isabel Allende, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Pablo Neruda. As a new CA, I am excited about working with students in a collaborative effort to solve, answer, or clarify academic inquiries. Please do not hesitate to stop by to say hello or to ask a question.; I look forward to meeting all students and helping them find their way through what can become a hectic but yet rewarding college experience.

Peer Counselors
 Hello Bruins!
My name is Jose Fernando Gutierrez. I am a fourth year Psychology major and minoring in East Asian Languages, focused on Mandarin Chinese. I was born and raised in the city of Guadalajara in Mexico. I moved to Los Angeles in September 2000 and attended West Los Angeles College before I transferred to UCLA. My plan for graduate school is to get a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. I also have a passion for exploring foreign languages and cultures and learning how they influence human interactions in a world where technological advances in communication bring us closer. I am very happy to be working as a Peer Counselor for AAP, and really look forward to assisting you during your exciting academic journey at UCLA!
