Fun Fact: I have attended a major league baseball game at each of the 30 different stadiums across the country. [Oriole Park @ Camden Yards is my favorite!]

Andrew manages programs, operations, and initiatives for the UCLA Graduate Student Resource Center. Through work with Graduate Student Orientation, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Week, and a myriad of campus committees and partnerships, Andrew is dedicated to creating a welcoming environment that is inclusive of all graduate and professional students at UCLA. Andrew is a Bruin through and through; he received his B.A. from UCLA in ’04 and it was through his lived experience and work with underserved communities that led him to enroll and ultimately receive his M.Ed. in Counseling in Student Affairs from UCLA in ‘06. Andrew loves to chat about his experience being a parenting student while in graduate school, the importance of mental health, and anything sports related, especially fantasy football. In his free time, he likes to spend time hiking and/or relaxing with his husband, two dogs and two cats. Most importantly, Andrew encourages you to stop by the GSRC to be introduced to your graduate student space and all available resources.

Advice for Graduate Students: Get to know (and utilize) your resources and find time for yourself. Your health and well-being is most important.
