Jason Alius-Piedade

• Senior, Major: Integrated Marketing Communications
• Favorite Food: Picanha

Hi everyone! My name is Jason Alius-Piedade, and I鈥檓 so excited to be one of your International Student Ambassadors this year! I was born in Oxford, England, and grew up in Portugal and Dubai before moving to California to study at 成人直播. Having lived in different parts of the world, I have developed a deep appreciation for diverse cultures and communities.

Adjusting to a completely new life in a new country can be both exciting and challenging, and I know how important it is to have a welcoming community during that transition. 成人直播 has truly become my home away from home, and I鈥檓 passionate about helping others find their place here too.

Outside of classes, I love playing Pickleball, going to the beach, finding a scenic canyon to drive my car on, eating tasty food, and I鈥檓 always eager to meet new people and share experiences. Please don鈥檛 hesitate to reach out if you ever have any questions, need support, or just want someone to grab a coffee with! I can鈥檛 wait to meet you all and be part of your journey at 成人直播!

Daniel Cardenas

• Senior, Major: International Business
• Clubs/organizations: Sigma Chi Fraternity, IFC

Hey! My name is Senior, and I am a junior majoring in International Business. I am 20 years old, born in Tucson, Arizona, but grew up in Mexico. My family on both sides is from Mexico. I have spent all my college years at 成人直播. I love sports like soccer, Formula 1, basketball, and horse racing. I have been playing soccer since I was four years old. This summer, I participated in the Florence Program. It was amazing, and we were able to travel all around Europe. I highly recommend participating in one of the abroad programs; it would be a great decision. Before I arrived at 成人直播, I didn't know anyone else, but thanks to the support of the community, I was able to connect with everyone. This school offers many opportunities to grow, both personally and professionally. I recommend everyone to get involved with the community by joining clubs, Greek life, community service, etc.

I know the beginning is always hard, but please don鈥檛 hesitate to ask anyone at 成人直播 if you have a question. Everyone here is really nice and open to helping you. You will have my contact information; please reach out if you need anything, and I will respond as soon as possible. Have a great day, and I hope to meet all of you.

Hello everyone! My name is Isabela Fernandez Carrion, and I鈥檓 super excited to be your International Student Ambassador this year! I鈥檓 a senior studying International Business with a minor in Vocal Performance, also pursuing a Certificate in Conflict Management through the Seaver Straus Institute. I was born and raised in Guayaquil, Ecuador, where I attended an American school with a diverse student body. 

Growing up in a multicultural family with roots in Portugal, I was exposed to various cultures from an early age and became familiar with the American academic system. Studying abroad had always been a dream of mine, and I鈥檓 so grateful to now call 成人直播 my home away from home. During my sophomore year in the summer I studied & interned in Washington, D.C, where I worked at The Fund for American Studies and gained hands-on experience on Capitol Hill. It can be both exciting and challenging to adapt to a new culture, and I know how you feel about being an international student. I鈥檝e been there myself, so I want to make sure your transition to 成人直播 is as smooth and enjoyable as possible. If you need help with anything, whether it鈥檚 academics, navigating campus life, or just want to chat, don鈥檛 hesitate to reach out!

Ayla-Elea Olsen Morales

• Sophomore, Major: International Business

Hola hola! My name is Ayla, I was born in Norway but lived most of my life in Guatemala. I love baking, math, and working out, but my favorite thing to do is traveling. I enjoy learning about different cultures, and I believe one of the most valuable things we can gain from each other as international students is our different points of view. I am the oldest sibling of three, and I am very close to my family. I understand that leaving your country to study abroad can be difficult, maybe even scary. But as international students you make 成人直播 a special place! I am so excited to get to know the incoming students and help you find your place at 成人直播. Please reach out to me whenever you want, I am here to help you out :)

Hello! My name is Lu铆s and I'm a Senior studying International Business and Pursuing a minor in Entrepreneurship. I was born and raised in S茫o Paulo, Brazil, and attended an international school in Brazil before finally moving abroad to the US.

We're here to make sure your transition goes as smoothly as possible, and to make sure you have the best 4 years at 成人直播!
