Meet Brittany
Brittany Ayala is an experienced education professional, student advocate, and proud Martinez resident who has spent her career helping young people succeed.
Her leadership is driven by one guiding principle: students come first.
Brittany Ayala’s story is rooted in resilience, leadership, and a deep commitment to educational equity. A proud graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, with a dual degree in Political Science and Chicano Studies, Brittany has devoted her career to expanding college access for historically underserved and underrepresented students. She is currently pursuing her Master’s in Counseling, Higher Education, and Student Affairs at Saint Mary’s College of California, where she is further strengthening her expertise in student advocacy, education policy, and academic counseling.
As a UC Transfer Specialist at UC Berkeley’s Center for Educational Partnerships, Brittany has guided hundreds of students—many of them first-generation college students, low-income families, and working parents—through the complex college admissions and financial aid process. She has built strong partnerships with Bay Area high schools and community colleges to ensure that all students, including those with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), 504 plans, and other academic challenges, receive the support and resources needed to succeed in higher education and career pathways.
A public school parent and lifelong advocate for public education, Brittany understands the critical need for high-quality schools, well-supported teachers, and safe, inclusive learning environments. Her platform prioritizes teacher retention, student resource investment, and expanded college and career opportunities—ensuring that every student, whether they’re college-bound or entering a skilled trade, has the tools and guidance to thrive.
Brittany AYALA is not only qualified—she is the right choice for Martinez students.
