Student Research Fellow
Hello! My name is Samantha Castillo and I am from San Jose, California. I am a sophomore English major in the College of Arts and Sciences. Here on campus, I am a LEAD peer educator for an English course. My favorite part of being involved in this position, is having the opportunity to form connections with individuals and learn more about their personal lives. As an aspiring teacher myself, I am looking forward to becoming a LERC research fellow and learning about the educational barriers existing in East San Jose. With this opportunity, I am determined to contribute to the research that will help make an impact in under resourced communities.
