Sophomore FAM – Alana Ortega

I’m your FAM.

I’m a junior from Martinsburg, WV, majoring in Health Science and minoring in Music.

I’m here to support you during your sophomore year. I’ll answer any questions you might have and point you to any resources you might need.

I’ll check in with you throughout the semester to make sure that you are doing well and have everything you need to succeed at Marshall.
