Jessica Mangili, Staff Advisor

Hi all! I have over 7 years of experience in the field of advising and I am a proud Sacramento State alum with a degree in Kinesiology. I believe in empowering students to explore their academic interests and achieve their goals by providing a tailored advising experience that considers all aspects of their life including their unique background, values, and interests. As a first-generation student myself, I understands the value of having a supportive space and guidance while navigating the world of higher education. I am so excited to work with you all!

London Legree, Staff Advisor

My name is London Legree and I am one of the undergraduate advisors for Linguistics and Communication. I am a proud first generation community college student. I am originally from the Bay Area. For college I went to Napa Valley Community and then transferred to UC Davis where I majored in Psychology and African and African American Studies. After graduating I assumed various roles in the education field. In those roles I have had the opportunity to connect with students and support them on their academic journey. I love being able to support students and empower them to make informed decisions about their future. I look forward to connecting with you all!

Peer Advisors

Peer Advisors are available to meet with students during weekly drop-in advising hours.
