Emmanuel Lopez is a Counselor and Instructor at Chabot College. He is a first-generation college graduate who began his educational journey at Modesto Junior College and then transferred to UC Santa Barbara where he graduated with a Bachelor in Arts (BA) in History. After working for a year, he knew I wanted to serve students in the community college. So he decided to go back to school for a Master's Degree. He then attended UCLA where I received a Master's in Education with an emphasis in Counseling and Student Affairs. In 2014, he was hired at Chabot where he typically serves students in General Counseling and teaches Psychology-Counseling courses.
