Mariela Frías was born in Calorina, Puerto Rico before being raised in Anchorage, Alaska, and is the first in her family to go to college. As soon as Mariela came to Pullman, she immediately felt the strong sense of community and supportive atmosphere running through the veins of all Cougs. Mariela has been the RHA Executive President and RHA Vice President of Programming, ASWSU Director of Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity, ASWSU Election Board member and currently a Resident Advisor. She has additionally been the Social Chair for Alpha Nu Multicultural Sorority, Inc., Orientation Counselor, Co-Chair of the Cultural Competency working group committee on top of continuously serving the university and students of WSU in various student organizations across campus. Mariela will work to have students needs, and concerns heard while implementing new ideas on bettering this organization and our university as a whole. Let's make your imagination of what WSU should be for all students a reality. Lets reform WSU to be more, to be better, for you. 

Mariela loves to write poetry in her free time. She also enjoys being a social butterfly and spending quality time with her friends and sisters. After graduation, Mariela plans to move to California in hopes to pursue a graduate degree at Berkely. This summer she will be an Orientation Counselor while showing future Cougs what WSU is all about. If you see her on campus, introduce yourself; there is nothing she enjoys more than meeting new people, and honestly believes that one can learn something new from every person's story.
