Melissa Ortiz

Hi, my name is Melissa Ortiz. I use She/Her/Hers pronouns. 
I am a first-generation, starting my fourth year in the fall. I am majoring in general sociology. I currently serve as Peer Mentor for the sociology department, Team Captain for the Office of New Student Programs and Family Engagement, and Resident Assistant for the University Village. My sociological interest includes mental health, family violence, and gender disparities.  On my free times I enjoy ​playing with my cats and dogs and binge watching tv.
