Albert Lopez

Graphic Design & Marketing, First Peoples Native Center

HELLO!  My name is Albert Lopez, and I’m from a small, beautiful town in Southern California. My educational path has been anything but boring—I started off at a few community colleges where I earned Associate degrees in Administration of Justice and Fire Technology, plus a Certificate in Auto Technology. From there, I got my Bachelor’s in Kinesiology (with a focus on fitness) and a Master’s in College Counseling and Student Services. Right now, I’m back in school at Mt. SAC studying Communications—because learning never really stops for me.

I’m into all kinds of things—outdoor adventures, health, fitness, sports, entertainment (tv/film/radio), photography/videography, ham radio, and drones. I’m also passionate about finding ways to help, support, and inspire others.

On campus, I’ve been actively involved in several clubs and programs, including the EAGLES Club, Art Club, Radio/Podcast/Voiceover Club, Astronomy Club, and Sociology Club. I’ve also taken part in the Activities Committee, WOCAN/MOCAN, and the LEAD program.

Overall, I’m someone who lives by strong values and is always looking for ways to grow, learn, and make a positive impact.

My roots trace back to the Americas and Spanish regions, and I’m proud to be reconnecting with my Indigenous background. I’m especially excited to be part of Mt. SAC’s First Peoples Native Center team, where I get to help build community, learn more about the land and our traditions, and share that with others.

Fun facts?
I’m currently serving as the AS Vice President, and I’m one of the voices you might hear on Mt. SAC’s radio station, FRED FM. Lately, I’ve been focused on helping spread awareness about the Native Center, supporting students however I can, and doing my part to create a space where people feel seen, supported, and inspired.
