Hello!! My name is Matthew Ortega and I am one of the Student Leadership Program Advisors for RHA. I am from the San Fernando Valley (close to LA) and I went to UCSB and have spent a total of 6 years here. I got my Bachelors in Sociology in 2021 and then ultimately came back since I missed it so much.
While here I was in Hall council for two years where I was Recognition Chair in San Nic and Athletics Chair in San Raf. I then was an RA for San Nic for two years and after graduating I spent some time working as a Special Project Assistant and then ARD of San Cat for a quarter.
Outside of work, I am really into video games as that is my main hobby. I love to watch tv shows (mostly comedy shows and anime but into a lot), watch sports (basketball and football),going to coffee shops, and hanging out with friends.
I am excited to be back and excited to work with RHA and all of our students at UCSB! Let's have some fun.
