Major: Political Science
Hometown: Los Angeles, CA
Willy (he/him) is a political science major raised in Los Angeles, California.

If he is not watching YouTube videos analyzing the British vlogger invasion of the early 2010’s, he is either working at the President’s Office, interning at the Admissions Office, serving as a teaching assistant in the political science department, or whining to his friends about the East Coast’s lack of In-N-Out. Willy is talkative to a fault, both in English and in Spanish, the latter his native tongue, so be prepared to converse vigorously both inside and outside of appointments.
