Hey everyone, my name is Estrella Rios but those who have trouble with pronunciation usually refer to me as Star. I am 23 years old (She/Her) and I just graduated from Fresno State like 2 days ago with a BA in Liberal Studies but I'm glad that I had this weekend to relax. I have a 2 year old daughter who runs at full speed with her eyes closed so I spend most of my time trying to ensure that she doesn't get a concussion. On the free time that I do have, I enjoy binge watching series or reading books. I LOVE trying new types of food even though I never know where to go which gets me frustrated due to my lack of awareness. I have a brother-in-law and a nephew with autism so special education has always been an interest of mine and I am very excited to become much more educated on the topic.

Hello everyone,

My name is Erisa Holguin. I am 25 years old and a former 2019 Fresno State graduate. I am very family oriented and enjoy spending most of my time with my family, but aside from quality family time I also enjoy being outdoors and going for walks and runs. I like to be creative and either hands on or always moving so art and music are also both a passion of mine. I have always wanted to inspire people and be a change in the lives I come across daily so starting this new journey and working towards the next steps of becoming a teacher is really exciting for me and I can’t wait to officially meet you all!

Hello everyone!
I identify as an Asian/Hmong American woman, and my pronouns are she/her/hers. I am also the oldest child and daughter out of 5 kids. I really love to hip-hop dance on the side when I have time, and I love snacking more than eating (it's probably not good, I know haha). But, if I did have to pick a favorite cuisine, it would be Korean food. I hope to get to know you all soon!
