MMMC Student Ambassador
Hi! I am Miraya (Mariah) I am 27 years old. I have my pride and joy her name is Maya. I am a first-generation college student.  My major is nutrition and dietetics AST, to transfer to Cal Poly Pomona, where I will pursue my bachelor's in nutrition. I am a part of the MMMC because like most people, I am illiterate when it comes to responsible finance. And of course, I need to be extra responsible since I have a tiny human looking at what I am always doing. I need to learn the tips and tricks from our workshops as a student ambassador so I can help my daughter in the future. Since this is not necessarily something that is taught in schools growing up. With our workshops ranging from how to know your rights as renters in the state of CA, how to buy a car, how to file your taxes, how to properly budget, 401Ks, Roth IRAs,etc.

Sonjia Ontiveros,
MMMC Student Ambassador
My name is Sonjia im a mom of 3 teenage boys. My major is respiratory therapy and the reason for chosing that major is because I love to help those who need my help. I see how much they are needed in the medical field. And what a big role they play in the health care industry.  I chose to join the mmmc because being a mom and a college student it gets rough managing your spending and I would love to help those who are in the same situation as me. And help show them how to spend but also how to manage your spending. I was a big spender and never saved but now I have different ways of saving and would like to share with those in college.
