Juan Figueroa

My name is Juan Figueroa and I have been working in higher education for twelve years. I received my B.S. in Physiology from The University of Arizona in 2013 and I am currently completing my M.S. in Organizational Leadership with a projected graduation date of Spring 2023. Over the course of those twelve years in student services and higher education, I have spent seven years with Maricopa Community Colleges in Arizona and the past 5 years at UCSD in sunny San Diego, California. I have a passion for higher education and enjoy working in a team environment to support students. I am grateful to have joined the Sixth College team in February of 2022.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my fiancé and our dog (a rescued pitty) exploring our city, traveling, camping, and spending time in nature. A fun fact about me is that I come from a family of 7 and am the youngest of 5 siblings! I spent part of my life living in Los Angeles County and part of my life living in Arizona, and moved to San Diego California where I have resided since 2016. I am grateful for my journey thus far with UCSD and strive to provide students with the highest quality student services possible!
