Orientation Coordinator for Marketing: Isabel Gomez

Hello all! My name is Isabel Gomez and I’m the Orientation Coordinator for Marketing! I am currently a junior majoring in Sociology and minoring in Graphic Design, which is all within our Wilkinson College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences. I grew up in Livermore, California, so I have a huge love for the SF Bay Area, especially because my family has owned a restaurant in San Ramon for the last 30 years! Having arrived at Chapman undeclared, I’ve grown a huge appreciation for how much freedom I had to explore all the academic and extracurricular communities I wanted to here. That includes having been an Orientation Leader for the past two years, where I’ve had the joy of making many memories, connections, and welcoming the incoming classes to Chapman. As a continuation of that position, I also work as a First Year Experience Peer Advisor, where I get to stay in touch with and support the first-year students that were in my fenestra forum and are within the art department. Some of my other involvements include hosting a Chapman Radio show and being involved with Greek life with Kappa Alpha Theta! Outside of school and work, I love to get outside whether it’s camping, hiking, off-roading or just a quick visit to the beach to play Spikeball. Art is my passion via painting, drawing, or often you’ll catch me with a film camera strapped around me. Plus, I’m a big foodie which means trying new hole-in-the-walls, or cooking up fun recipes. I am so excited to work with this team to make it the best orientation we can for all the incoming students!
