  Denise Marquez

  EDUCATION:
  Oxnard College- Associate for Transfer in Sociology; Associate of Arts in General Studies: Social and Behavioral Sciences (August 2019 - May 2021)

  California State University, Northridge- Bachelors of Arts in Sociology (August 2021 - May 2023)

  California Lutheran University- Master of Science in Counseling and College Student Personnel (January 2026 - Present)

  WHY ACADEMIC ADVISING:
  Being a first generation student, I had to learn how to navigate the higher education system on my own. After joining EOPS at Oxnard College (OC), I met with an amazing team of counselors that equipped me with the tools to successfully navigate through OC and California State University, Northridge (CSUN).

  I am excited to help other students learn how to navigate the complexities that the higher education system brings. I want to help students explore their academic interests, pursue opportunities and promote their growth holistically.

  HOBBIES/INTERESTS:
  I enjoy hiking, camping, and being outdoors with my family and dog, Rocket. I also love to bake and try new cooking recipes. I love spending time with my family, friends and Nico (my cat).

  Moorpark Community College: A.A in English (2015)

  CSUCI: B.A. in English (2024)

  Cal Lutheran: MS Counseling and College Student Personnel (Present)

  WHY ACADEMIC ADVISING:
  I chose academic advising because I felt a personal connection to it through my own higher education journey. In many ways, I feel like academic advising chose me, much like my English degree did. I found myself drawn to helping students navigate their own paths, discover their goals, and feel supported along the way.
  

  HOBBIES/INTERESTS:
  My hobbies include gardening, gaming, DIY projects, crafting and art, reading and collecting beautiful books, going to renaissance fairs, Pokemon card collecting and spending time with my two cats Draino and Nova.
