Jay Ayala Rosas - Peer Mentor
Hello, I'm Jay Rosas (They/Them), a third-year studio art major and proud first-generation student at SF State. My journey through my first year of college wasn't easy, but it inspired me to become a peer mentor.

When I'm not mentoring, you can find me indulging in photography and getting lost in the world of books.

Besides being a peer mentor, I enjoy drawing and trying new foods.
