Maria Lopez Zamudio, Loyola Marymount University class of 2019, is making the most of her opportunities post-graduation. She worked this past summer at West Los Angeles College as a Career Guidance Counselor Assistant in the Dream Center, providing support and resources to community members. In September, Maria was hired as a Social Media Intern at First Gen Professionals. As she helps expand their platform on social media, Maria is also a full-time student working toward her Business Information Worker Stage 1 Certification at Santa Monica College.
