Hello, I'm Jay Rosas (They/Them), a third-year studio art major and proud first-generation student at SF State. My journey through my first year of college wasn't easy, but it inspired me to become a peer mentor. I'm passionate about helping fellow first-generation students achieve their goals and showing that SF State is a safe space for everyone. When I'm not mentoring, you can find me indulging in photography and getting lost in the world of books.

Hello everyone! I’m a second-year biology student. I became a peer mentor because I want to help others achieve their potential. I remember what it was like to be a student and feeling like I didn't have anyone to turn to for help. I want to be that person for someone else. Besides being a peer mentor, I enjoy drawing and trying new foods.
