Omar Ali
My name is Omar Ali (he/him), and I’m in my third year at COM. I’m a Computer Science major, and I’ve participated in multiple programs, such as Computing Talent Initiative, which I would love to share with anyone interested! These programs enable you to make the most out of your major and the opportunities available. One fun fact about me is I used to work as an EMT. I also enjoy music, playing piano, and a North Indian drum called the tablas. Another hobby of mine is playing board or card games. I look forward to meeting you and helping you make the most out of your time at COM!
Moss Fallat
My name is Moss Fallat (he/she), and I’m entering my second year at the College of Marin. I’m a queer, disabled student planning to transfer for a neuroscience degree. Eventually, I would like to get my Ph.D. in neuroscience and pursue a career in research. I’ve lived in the Bay Area my entire life, and one of my favorite things to do is hike out on the trails in the open space we are lucky enough to have in Marin. I know how confusing the transition into college can be, and I’m excited to join the MAPS team this year as a mentor to hopefully help make that transition a little smoother for some folks.

I’m excited to be a part of MAPS and look forward to meeting and supporting you as much as possible.

Javier Sosa
My name is Javier Sosa (he/him). I am looking to major in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering and am a First-Generation college student. There is so much that I aspire to accomplish within the field.

In my free time, I love to jam out and play music, whether with my guitar or bass, since music fills me with joy. I am excited to get to know you and watch you all succeed!
