Aliya
Meet our new Bronco Access Mentor, Aliya!
Hey hey! I’m Aliya Patterson. I’m currently a Communications major, and I transferred to CPP last Fall to finish my Bachelors degree. I am passionate about being a helping hand to others, which fulfills my life because I know I’m having a positive impact. I love a good conversation, and things I love to talk about are memes, pugs, matcha, Criminal Minds, astrology (I’m a Virgo), music, fun facts, The Sims and other games, escape rooms, and more. Once you meet me, you’ll get a good understanding of who I am in 7.2 seconds. Heads up: I might be the only person in 2024 still using the word “yolo.” (It needs to have a comeback). After school, I plan to become a Speech Language Pathologist for children. Although I haven’t been a part of any clubs yet, I do plan to. I look forward to being a positive contributor to the DRC and to my peers. Thank you for your time and hope to chat with you soon!

Hello, I’m Stephanie Flores and I am thrilled to be a part of the Disability Resource Center as a peer mentor. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Studies as well as my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential which I received through Cal Poly Pomona. I am also currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership. Having been a student here for the past four years, I have a strong connection to our university community and am passionate about supporting and empowering students. Outside of work I enjoy reading, traveling, and spending time with my friends and family. I look forward to contributing to our campus community and helping students achieve their goals.
