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 Mentor

Hi my name is Esmeralda Ortiz. I am from Salinas, CA. I am a rising senior studying Finance and minoring in Real Estate. My favorite class I've taken at SCU so far has been U.S. Hispanic Theology.

A few fun facts about me are that I enjoy baking, going on hikes, and trying different food spots around the Bay.

In addition to LEAD, some other organizations I am involved in are the Transfer Student Union and Women in Investment.

I am looking forward to meeting all of you!
