Alyssa Sanchez
President
Alyssa Sanchez is a fourth-year student studying Communications with a concentration in Entertainment and Tourism. Her experience with the Entertainment and Tourism Club (ETC) began as a class extra credit opportunity in 2023, but she fell in love with the club events and community, and eventually stepped into the role of Marketing and Media Coordinator in 2024..
During her time in that role, she created engaging marketing reels, graphics, and strategies that elevated ETC’s online presence. One of her proudest moments was pitching and producing the "Channel Your Inner Communications Drive" campaign, which was a fun, empowering concept inspired by iconic 2000s communications rom-com characters, designed to help students envision themselves as confident, driven professionals in the communications field. The campaign gained notable traction on Instagram for its nostalgic charm and motivational message.
Now serving as President of ETC for the 2025-2026 school year, Sanchez is committed to leading a collaborative and innovative team that delivers high-quality events for students interested in entertainment and tourism.
Her involvement extends beyond ETC. Sanchez has held several leadership positions within CSUF, including Executive Director of Vendor Logistics for the 2nd Annual Garden Flea Market and Publicist for the PRactical ADvantage agency. One of her favorite projects was developing a full campaign for the Superman 2025 film with a themed fireworks show, menu, and marketing for Six Flags, which helped her team earn the highest grade in the class.
In April 2025, Sanchez was awarded the Professional Promise Undergraduate Student Award by the Department of Communications at CSUF, which honors one student each year for exceptional leadership and career potential in the concentration. As a first-generation college student with a homeschooled background, the award represented a meaningful personal and academic milestone.
When she is not studying with an iced coffee in hand, Alyssa works in the Entertainment Department at Disneyland, assisting with character meet-and-greets and helping guests create magical memories. In her free time, you will find her at the beach, traveling, organizing Pinterest boards, cooking, spending time with family and friends, or deepening her faith. Through it all, she has maintained a 4.00 GPA, demonstrating her strong work ethic and time management across academics, leadership, work, and personal life.
She is passionate about marketing, theme parks, film, and hospitality, and is eager to pursue a professional career in these fields. Sanchez welcomes you to email her or connect with her on LinkedIn.
