Hi everyone, my name is Camilla Herrera (she/her), and I’m a political science and legal studies major in the class of 2027 here at UMass! When I first visited campus for Destination Days as a high school student, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed, but the welcoming activities planned by the outreach team instantly made me feel right at home. They ended up being a huge reason why I chose UMass in the first place. Navigating a big university can sometimes feel daunting, and as a proud Latina, I know firsthand how deeply important it is to find spaces that bring you a genuine sense of peace and comfort. That feeling of safety and belonging is something I hold very close to my heart. It is the very reason I joined this team, and making sure other students experience that same warmth is my absolute favorite part of the job. No matter where you're coming from, what your story is, or what doubts you might have, I'm here to walk alongside you and make sure you feel that exact same comfort from the moment you step onto our campus.

That experience really shaped how I think about community and making people feel like they belong.
