California State University, Dominguez Hills President
Preferred Gender Pronouns: She/Her/Hers
Hometown: Compton, California Dr. Landeros has been involved with CLAA since 2017 through the Los Angeles Chapter and joined the CLAA Board in February 2020. Dr. Landeros graduated from UC Berkeley in 2009 with a Psychology and Sociology double major, and an Education Minor. While at Cal, Dr. Landeros was involved in the Raza (now Raices) Recruitment and Retention Center, served as Community Service Chair for Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc. and as Community Service Chair and Co-Chair for TRENZA, interned for the Cal Alumni Association - The Achievement Award Program (TAAP), Co-Chaired the TAAP Leadership Council, worked as a Cal Student Orientation Counselor, conducted research through the Psychology Department, and played intramural softball for Osos, to name a few.
Dr. Landeros is a proud Compton native and is the oldest of four, born to two Mexican parents. Dr. Landeros wanted to attend the University of California, Berkeley since age 12 and knew at age 14 that School Counseling was her calling. Recognizing her privilege as a student who was identified as “college-bound” and given access to opportunities that some of her peers did not have, Dr. Landeros has spent her career advocating for all of her students, and mentoring other counselors in their efforts. After graduating from UC Berkeley, Dr. Landeros attended Harvard Graduate School of Education and transferred to the University of Southern California to earn a Master’s in School Counseling and Pupil and Personnel Services Credential. In 2015, Dr. Landeros earned her Doctorate of Education in Educational Leadership, Administration and Policy, thanks to the doors that the Gates Millennium Scholarship opened for her in 2005. Dr. Landeros served as a High School Counselor for seven years and then as a Counselor Support Specialist for Green Dot Public Schools, where she coached and supported middle and high school counselors in the network. Dr. Landeros remains committed to student college access and persistence and hope to have an even greater impact in my work with school counselors as a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the School and College Counseling graduate program at California State University, Dominguez Hills.

Vice President of External Affairs
Preferred Gender Pronouns: She/Her
Hometown: Tijuana, MX / San Diego, CA Elizabeth has been a part of the Latinx community at Cal since 1995. For over two decades she has worked in program management, working primarily with underserved communities, including our undocumented community as a defense immigration paralegal. In 2015, she embarked on a non-linear career path into the field of information security. Currently, she works with a global community of hundreds of security researchers (aka White Hat Hackers). As Co-Chair of the TRENZA, Inc. Board, Co-Chair of the 2021 Legacy Celebration Planning Committee, and a member of the San Francisco Urban Services YMCA Community Action Board she gives back to the communities that have given so much to her. Her career began as a Program Manager of The Achievement Award Program (TAAP), a program she will always hold as a prime example of what we can do to uplift our community. She is a lifetime member of CAA and CLAA.
Elizabeth grew up a border kid, crossing the San Diego/Tijuana border every day to attend school on the US side. Elizabeth's passion for education and immigration related issues comes from an understanding that our access to education and to an institution like Cal is often based on arbitrary lines. Her passion for building and supporting our community stems from knowing that together we will stand stronger and being changemakers is not an option. FIAT LUX. Email: vpexternalffairs@ucbclaa.org |
