Hi! My name is Valentina, and I’m a Graduate Financial Wellness Consultant. I’m a 1st year Biostatistics master’s student and I did my undergrad in Economics at UC San Diego.

I’ve been living in southern California for most of my life, and love it! Part of the reason I chose UCLA was because it meant I could continue living here.

I joined the FWP because I had such amazing experiences mentoring throughout my undergraduate career. Being a part of the team has also given me the opportunity to connect with the UCLA community, which can be difficult as a grad student. Being able to help other grad students reduce their stress by guiding them on their finances is such a gift. I’m very grateful to be here!

One fun fact about me: I was born on Valentine’s Day! That’s why my name is Valentina~
