Brittiny Dennis | Health Professions Advising Coordinator & Pre-Health Advisor

Brittiny is a proud double alumna of California State University, San Bernardino, holding a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and a Master’s in Public Administration-Leadership. As a first-generation college graduate from a low-income background, Brittiny is deeply committed to supporting and guiding students in their pursuit of academic success and upward social mobility.

Alyssa Avellaneda | Lead Pre-Health Student Advisor

Major: Kinesiology (B.S.)        Concentration: Health Promotion

As a fourth-year Kinesiology Health Promotion major, Alyssa Avellaneda is dedicated and committed to leading students in exploring and uncovering their career paths in health professions. 

Her inspiration comes from her personal quest to achieve her aspirations of being an aesthetic nurse. This journey is shaped by her cultural heritage and identity along with her drive, flexibility, and commitment propelling her toward accomplishing objectives. Noticing a scarcity of women, specifically Hispanic women, opting for a biology major and overall STEM majors on university campuses.

One of Alyssa’s major accomplishments at CSUSB thus far has been securing a position on the executive board of the sorority Alpha Phi. The opportunity to serve as the VP of Finance for Alpha Phi holds special meaning, especially considering that as a second-year college student, she never envisioned being selected for such a crucial role. This achievement is important as it signifies both personal growth and recognition of capabilities within the sorority community.
