Hello! My name is Kezia (k-sha) Mambo, and I am an Indonesian first-generation student. I recently received a Bachelor's degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from California State University, Los Angeles. From Chaffey College, I received an Associate's degree with an Emphasis on Social, Behavioral, and Health Sciences, as well as my Certified Nursing Assistant certification. I'm now continuing my path at San Diego State University for graduate school. Given that I grew up bilingual and witnessed the importance of communication, I aspire to be a pediatric SLP emphasizing childhood development. I have always had a passion for working with kids, and I currently work as an early interventionist/behavioral therapist supporting children with autism around the Inland Empire. I balance another role as a direct service advisor, where I prepare adults with intellectual disabilities for the workforce. Apart from school, I own a small business where I curate and vend my collection of early 2000s BAPE and Japanese brands. I love expressing myself through electric guitar and creating abstract nail sets. I strive to be a multi-faceted individual who follows my passion in healthcare, all while honing in on my creative outlets. No matter where you are from, or what you know, higher education and the quest for knowledge are keys to dreaming past your environment!
