Hello!! My name is Jasper Chagolla and I started my educational journey at Mount San Antonio Community College studying behavioral science and participating in every leadership opportunity possible within the LGBTQ+ student club and pride center. It was there that I fell in love with project coordination and supporting LGBTQ+ students thrive. After receiving an AA in Behavioral studies, I transferred to CSULB and got a Bachelor’s degree in Women, Gender,and Sexuality Studies with a minor is ASL and Deaf Culture. I am passionate about LGBTQ+ rights, disability rights & accessibility, and community building. When not at work you can find me watching various reality tv shows, camping, or doing arts and crafts.
