Meet the Staff

Dasha holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology, specializing in Applied Community Psychology and Marriage and Family Therapy. 

They've been working with college students since 2015 and find it to be such a rewarding and celebratory experience being able to not only watch the students you work with achieve their student success stories, but also to be able to grow with them through those journeys.

Please ask Dasha about their cats (or Shrek).

Ghenna attended Monterey Peninsula College and transferred to UC Santa Barbara and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology. Followed by obtaining a Master of Arts degree in Human Resource Management from Webster University. As a former transfer student herself, being able to be a part of assisting others to maximize their college experience is extremely rewarding. Looking forward to providing support and community to all who walk through our doors. 

Marissa offers support and advocacy for reentry students (ages 25 and older, with children, married/partnered, returning from a break in school, caregiving for adult family members).  

Hello, my name is Emily!  I'm majoring in Statistical Data Science and minoring in Tech Management.  I am interested in pursuing my master's at some point in time!  Outside of academics, I love spending my free time playing video games, drawing, and travelling with friends and family.  I'm also into music of all genres, and consistently building my large library of liked songs on Spotify.  Before Davis, I was a math tutor at Cosumnes River College, where I was able to create meaningful relationships with other students while advising them.  I look forward to transitioning those skills to the TRC and meeting new faces!

Hi, my name is Nevaeh, but most people call me Nae! I’m a transfer student from Ohlone College, double majoring in Psychology and Sociology here at UC Davis. My dream is to earn a Master’s degree and become an academic college counselor, helping students from all walks of life reach their goals. When I’m not studying, you’ll probably find me outside exploring nature, gaming on my PS5, journaling with a good playlist on, or snapping photos as a hobby photographer.  A wise person once told me, “Be the person you needed when you were younger,” and that inspires the way I show up for others. I’m a proud Aggie and look forward to making a positive impact in our community!

Hello! I am an Environmental Science and Management major. I am excited to begin my journey at UC Davis and learn about sustainability and environmental stewardship. Growing up in Los Angeles, I witnessed the negative impacts anthropogenic activities have on the environment, which led me to pursue this major. My love for nature and its conservation has only grown deeper as I advance in my education. During my free time, I enjoy attending concerts, traveling, and rewatching my favorite shows. I also love reading and being out in nature!
