Noah Estrada-Rand followed his grandparents’ footsteps in attending Chapman University for his undergraduate studies, earning degrees in psychology and data analytics. After an internship with Pacific Life Insurance Company, he moved to a full-time position as a data analyst for multiple departments and now works as a product owner for the various websites managed under the marketing department. He enjoys the challenge of balancing the human and technological sides of business, finding solutions that satisfy both halves of a rapidly maturing company.
Estrada-Rand serves as an advisory board member for the OC Fellowship and as a mentor through the Panther Network. His passion for mentorship, learning and mental health are all things he intends to pursue in the future with aspirations of becoming a professor.
“Having served on the advisory board for a local nonprofit, I witnessed how building community proved to be the greatest benefit and enabling factor to the program’s success. I feel like this is something we can do better as Chapman grads, and as such I seized the opportunity to explore how we build community for alumni, regardless of how long ago they graduated,” Estrada-Rand says.

“Supporting students has always been a central focus of my work, from my time as a classroom teacher to my role with a college access nonprofit,” Johnston says. “Serving on the Alumni Board presents a unique opportunity for me to continue this commitment, offering support to students as they pursue their studies and future aspirations in a new and impactful way.”
