Proud of his Latino heritage, U.S. Army veteran and first-generation college graduate Ralph Figueroa carries his family’s lessons of hard work, purpose and service into everything he does. Growing up in La Puente, California, he learned from his parents the importance of giving his best and communicating with confidence. Those lessons shaped his path from military service to higher education, where he earned his Master of Arts in rehabilitation counseling at CSUSB in 2025. Now, he’s paying it forward by supporting veterans and creating spaces where others feel welcomed and connected.
