What made Clemencia join SGA?:

"As a Capital City Scholar who started my first year in the spring semester after studying abroad in Madrid, I was eager to immerse myself more deeply in campus life. I saw involvement in the SGA as a valuable opportunity to engage with the university community and make a positive impact. Inspired by the significant changes driven by the SGA and conversations with individuals like Ethan during his campaign, I wanted to contribute to meaningful change, particularly on issues like reproductive rights. My interest in local politics and experience working for the city council further motivated me to delve deeper into school politics. Additionally, my experience in outreach at CreatorX, a talent agency, and as an election worker for Los Angeles County made me want to join the communications team and be Outreach Director. I am eager to use my expertise to bridge the gap between the student body and the SGA, ensuring that initiatives are clearly communicated and resonate with students' interests and concerns."
