Born and raised in South LA, Miguel developed his passion for organizing as a student at UCLA when he realized the wide disparities between his home and his university, separated by just 12 miles. He began his activism by fighting for retention issues to change university policy to better serve Black and Brown students on the campus and now continues his commitment to improving the quality of education for students in South LA and other historically underserved communities.
Fun Fact: Miguel loves to stay active whether it is running, hiking or exploring nature. He is also the biggest Dodger fan you will ever meet!
