Danielle Espinoza

I’m a first-year, first-generation transfer student from College of the Desert in sunny Palm Springs, California, where I love to hike, swim and be smothered in my dogs’ kisses. My short time at UCLA so far has been nothing short of fulfilling - the friendships, lessons in and out of the classroom, and abundant opportunities for growth constantly inspire me to strive to be the best version of myself. As a student worker at UCLA’s Higher Education Research Institute, Community Development Intern for my dorm community, volunteer at the Transfer Center, and future Resident Assistant for the 2019-2020 school year, my ambition is paralleled only by my passion to help students achieve their goals and have an experience in school that is as fulfilling as possible.
