Paula Valera
Secretary
“ Hi! My name is Paula Valera (She/her). I am majoring in Environmental Science and am looking to transfer to study wildlife conservation. My influence for pursuing studying the environment came from learning about the Yellowstone Wolf Project and seeing what a difference one species had on an ecosystem and it made me reflect back to how impactful we humans influence the whole world and have the possibility to change our ways and better our world and can help each other. “

Bernadette
Figueroa
Historian
I'm Bernadette born and raised in East LA. I have been a returning student at ELAC for almost two years. In 2020, I had my daughter, and shes the one who inspired me to return to ELAC for an AA in Early Childhood Education. After some time back at school I realized I want to work with kids and do environmental work because something I like to say is that the change starts with us, and kids are the future. My goal is to double major in Early Childhood Education and Environmental Studies and transfer to CSULB in Fall 2025.

Jeffrey Serrano
ICC Delegate
My name is Jeffrey Serrano and I'm an Environmental Science major here at ELAC! I've been a fisherman all my life and growing up I noticed how the fish population at my favorite pier dropped significantly so I plan on making a difference by tackling overfishing and healing the ocean in every way possible! I've competed in cybersecurity competitions in high school and won plenty of medals but never pursued a career in the field (for some reason haha). I practice aquaponics with my 4 aquariums of varying sizes it's a ton of fun! I also play the alto saxophone!
