Have a quick question? with me.

Hello, my name is Kobe Holguin, Regional Admissions Counselor at California State University of Channel Islands (±¬ÁϳԹÏ). My roots trace back to Orange County as I was raised in La Habra and attended La Habra High School. I am a recent graduate of ±¬ÁÏ³Ô¹Ï where I obtained my B.S. in Health Science with a minor in Psychology. During my undergraduate studies, I was a member of EOP (Educational Opportunity Program) and look forward to providing support to students and first-generation college students like myself. In my free time, you can find me on X2 at Six Flags, walking my pugs, or playing video games.

I visit High Schools within the Kern and Central Valley.

Hello, my name is Brianna Baeza, Admissions Counselor at California State University, Channel Islands (±¬ÁϳԹÏ). I was born from a mixed-status immigrant family and have lived my whole life in Ventura County. As a first-generation, Mexicana, I began my higher education journey at Santa Barbara City College before transferring to the University of California, Riverside where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biology. I am deeply passionate about empowering first-generation and underrepresented students by helping them find their voice and pursue their post-secondary goals. In my free time, I enjoy walking my Shih Tzu, Mila, dancing folklorico, bird watching, and going on road trips- especially to snowboard.

I visit high schools in Ventura County.

My path in higher education began at Oxnard Community College and then led me to the University of California, Santa Barbara, where I earned a B.A. in Sociology.
