My name is Manuel Juarez Lopez, and I am a recent Cuyamaca College alumnus currently pursuing a degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Finance at San Diego State University. As a first-generation American, I have witnessed the various struggles and therefore aim to create a positive impact on my community, both economically and socially, through policy-making. During my time at Cuyamaca College, I was part of the Associated Student Government, competed in Cross Country & Track, and served as the Student Trustee.
