Elena Gomez

EDS Major/Minor: Double Major in Education Sciences (Pathway 3), Language Studies - Spanish, and minor in Writing

Graduate school & field of study: M.Ed/Single-Subject (Spanish) Credential Program at UCSD

Workplace: Bonita Vista Middle/Intern Teacher for Native Spanish classes

Any advice/insight to current UCSD students: "More than anything, the advice I give to current students is to put yourself out there! I would be in a much different place currently if I let my fears and doubts control me; taking the initial step is always scary, but trust me when I say that you will open so many doors and opportunities when you start doing this more often. Take a deep breath, be confident in your decisions, and experience everything that our school, department, and programs have to offer."

Steve Anthony Maravillo

EDS Major/Minor: B.S. in Education Sciences - Pathway 1: Programs, Policy and Research 

Graduate school & field of study: Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Curriculum and Instruction. 

Workplace: Moving to Bulgaria after recently being named a Finalist for the Fulbright U.S. Student Program where Steve will be representing the United States in educational and cultural exchange for a year.

Any advice/insight to current UCSD students: "My advice to current UCSD EDS students is to build and strengthen connections between yourselves and Professional EDS Faculty. Mastering networking and outreach skills played important roles in not only excelling in the major, but pursuing incredible opportunities post-undergrad (i.e. The Fulbright Program)."
