Transfer Peer Mentors and Educators support our new transfer students throughout their first year at Santa Clara University. Peer mentors create community during LEAD Week, meet regularly with their mentees throughout their first year and plan activities for their mentoring groups. Transfer peer educators are a source of support and information in the Advanced LEAD Seminar class that introduces transfer students to SCU resources and leadership opportunities.

LEAD Transfer Peer Mentors & Educators

Transfer Peer Educator

Hey! My name's Isabel Espinoza. I am from Alviso, a small town between Santa Clara and Milpitas. I am a super senior who will graduate in the fall, and I am English major and a Creative Writing minor. My favorite class I've taken at SCU so far has been Dr. Morgan's African American Comedy class where she intertwined pop culture and literature to showcase what African American comedy is.

A few fun facts about me are I am an unpublished poet, I wasn't born with curly hair but it curled after I hit puberty, and I don't have my driver's license.

In addition to LEAD, I am the President of the Transfer Student Union (TSU) and a student worker in the English Department.

I am very excited to meeting all of you!
