Sonia Gordillo (She/Her)

Academic and Career Advisor

Sonia Gordillo is a Pre-Health Advisor within Tykeson College and Career Advising. She received her Bachelors of Arts in Social Work from Portland State University with a double minor in Child and Family Studies and Spanish (2018). In 2019, Sonia received her Masters in Social Work from Pacific University. Sonia is a first-generation Mexican-American from Eugene, Oregon. As Sonia states, “Being a first generation student going through the University system was challenging to say the least. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the wonderful support of mentors and advisors that have guided me along the way. I now hope I can be a strong guiding force to first generation and underrepresented students at the University of Oregon.” Outside of work, Sonia loves playing and watching soccer, cooking traditional Mexican food, and spending quality time with her toddler.
