About the Future Educators Association
The Future Educators Association was created when a group of transfer students in
a Liberal Studies 300 class were seeking information regarding the credential programs
offered at CSUSM and the overall process of becoming a Teacher. The idea of creating
a club where future educators could meet up, ask questions, and connect with faculty
and advisors, evolved out of several in class discussions and by the end of the semester
the foundations of the club were set and spearheaded by Makenzie Dotinga and Marissa
Lamonte. Since the club's humble beginnings in Fall 2018, the Future Educators Association
has grown to over 200 members and has organized several events from fundraisers to
discussion panels featuring guests from the School of Education as well as Credential
Advisors.

David Magallanes is a senior at California State University San Marcos. His major is Social Science
with his primary field of study being History and his two secondary fields of study
being Sociology and Ethnic Studies. After attending the Encuentros Teacher Academy
in 2019, David felt inspired and motivated to become an educator. His goal is to not only

He is thrilled about becoming Co-President of Future Educators Association (FEA) because he will have the honor to work alongside other cougars and learn more about

Hello! My name is Marlene Estrada and I’m a senior here at CSUSM with a major in Liberal Studies with a focus in Spanish.
I‘ve always wanted to be a teacher since a child but my high school math teacher really
solidified the idea; I was his student in 10th and 12th grade and I loved his class.
He was very caring towards his students and his love for teaching was visible to everyone.
I hope to be a teacher that can inspire young students just like he inspired me. One
thing I love about FEA is all the resources that are given to us during the meetings
as well as meeting new peers who are going into the same career path.
