Staff

My name is Nilda Mason, and I am the Student Parent Engagement Assistant at CSUB. As a first-generation Latina and proud mother of two daughters, I understand that balancing school, family, work, and everyday responsibilities can be challenging.
I have worked in higher education for nearly 20 years, with experience in admissions, financial aid, and financial wellness. I hold a master’s degree in Higher Education Administration and am also a certified life coach and certified personal financial consultant.
I want student-parents to know that my door is always open. Whether you are experiencing challenges at school, need help finding resources, have financial concerns, or simply need someone to listen, you are welcome to reach out. You do not need to have everything figured out before coming to see me. We can talk about what you are going through and work together to find the support you need.
