Gillian Peraza

Lead Learning Consultant

Gillian Peraza

Gillian Peraza (she/her) is an alumni who graduated with a BS in Bioengineering. She was also a FLI student who formed part of the sixth LSP cohort. During her freshman year of college, Gillian faced her fair share of academic challenges. This experience and her background motivates her to ensure that other FLI students are adequately supported, and are able to apply and perform vital academic skills during their time at Stanford. Currently, she’s keeping her career prospects open, but could see herself aiding in medicinal development or genetic research in the future. Outside of science, she is passionate about issues surrounding mental health, as well as removing the stigma around it. In her free time, you will probably find her doodling or going for a boba run. As an undergraduate student at Stanford, Gillian was a member of the inaugural cohort of the Peer Learning Consultant Program. She served as Undergraduate Learning Consultant from 2018 to 2019 and as Lead Learning Consultant from 2019 to 2021.
