Fernando Magallon-Romero
Computer Science B.S. | M.B.A.
As a Graduate Assistant, I am committed to supporting students as they navigate their academic and professional journeys. My approach to advising focuses on creating a welcoming and encouraging environment where students feel heard, valued, and empowered to take ownership of their goals. I aim to not only provide clear guidance on courses and resources but also to inspire confidence in each student’s ability to succeed. With my background in Computer Science and ongoing MBA studies, I enjoy helping students see how the skills they are developing in the classroom can translate to meaningful career opportunities. My goal as a Graduate Assistant is to continue growing as a mentor and advocate for students. I look forward to working with you and supporting you throughout your time at SDSU!
