Tlatoani Loya

I’m a senior-standing Criminal Justice major at San Diego State University, preparing to graduate and actively seeking full-time employment following graduation. My academic background is supported by leadership experience and service-oriented environments, where I've developed strong communication and problem-solving skills.

I'm interested in public safety and criminal behavior, particularly focused on improving fairness and effectiveness within justice-related institutions. I’m motivated, reliable, and detail-oriented, and I thrive in roles that require accountability, professionalism, and collaboration.

I have leadership and hands-on professional experience in criminal justice and student services. I worked as a Student Assistant at the District Attorney’s Office, supporting case management, research, and administrative tasks, gaining valuable insight into prosecutorial processes and office operations. Additionally, I serve as a Community Assistant (CA) at SDSU, where I provide guidance, mentorship, and support to fellow students, helping create a safe and inclusive residential environment. These experiences, combined with prior retail and entrepreneurial work, have strengthened my skills in communication, organization, and problem-solving.
