Shayla Michel, a first-generation business administration student, reflects on the confidence she gained at UCR and the people who helped her realize she belonged in professional spaces.

A Victorville, Calif. native, Shayla served as the undergraduate chief ambassador for the School of Business, leading her fellow student ambassadors and representing the school at major events, including the 2026–27 Executive Fellows installation. Through these experiences, she developed the confidence to navigate professional spaces, build meaningful connections, and lead with purpose.

She credits the faculty and staff at UCR for encouraging her growth and helping her recognize her potential. “Being in professional spaces and sitting at the table with industry leaders reminds me that my experiences have shaped who I am today and that I am deserving of them,” she says. “It also inspires me to serve as a representation for others who come from similar backgrounds and may see themselves in my journey.”

After graduation, Shayla looks ahead to pursue professional opportunities in higher education. “What I will miss most about being a student at UCR is the strong sense of community. Truly, a one-of-a-kind experience and environment that I will cherish forever.”

Gina Gardea, a first-generation Latina from Los Angeles, CA, was able to combine her knowledge of tech and love for community to positively impact culture and become a leader across the UCR campus.

The business administration student concentrating in information systems discovered her love for fashion through Vain Editorial while building her leadership experience through the Women’s Business Association (WBA) and the Association for Information Systems (AIS), where she later served as co-president. She also helped establish Club Quetzal, UCR’s first Guatemalan heritage club, serving as its inaugural vice president.

“I always knew I wanted to make an impact, I just didn’t know what that would look like,” she says. “At UCR, I found equally driven people who made me feel like I belonged and had room to fully become myself.”

After walking in June, Gina will continue exploring opportunities in the tech or fashion industries, using the lessons, connections, and community she built at UCR.

Marshall Berry, a business administration student concentrating in finance from Redlands, CA, made the most of his time at UC Riverside by creating unforgettable experiences.

Marshall served as an undergraduate student ambassador for the School of Business and was one of the analysts representing the Hylander Financial Group (HFG) in regional competition at Pacific Investment Management Company headquarters in Orange County. He was also featured on CBS for his recent international experience in Dubai, where he gained valuable global business exposure.

As Marshall prepares for the next chapter and explores opportunities in finance, he carries forward the experiences and friendships that shaped his college journey. His advice to future students? “Make sleep a much greater priority than I did during the first half of my time at UCR.”

As she completes her MBA program this spring, Alexis Silva has turned her passion for creativity into meaningful connections, using every opportunity to build community and bring ideas to life.

The West Covina, CA native has made a lasting impact at UCR, serving as vice-chief of outreach and events for Graduate Student Ambassadors, partnerships executive for Women in Business, and founder and president of the Creatives in Business. The new student-run organization’s growth has been especially meaningful to her. “Seeing it grow from an idea into something real and impactful has been such an exciting and full-circle moment for me,” she says.

A first-generation Latina, Alexis credits her family’s support and encouragement for her continued growth throughout her undergraduate and graduate studies. “Their support is a big part of why I continue to chase every opportunity or dream I have.”

After graduating in June, Alexis looks toward a career in experiential and activation marketing, hoping to work with beauty and entertainment spaces. 🎓
