Counselor,teacher, community activist and Santa Monica College alumni; those are some of the words that describe Byanca Barajas.One of SMC's athletic counselors, Barajas grew up in West Los Angeles and attended Santa Monica High School. After graduating, she continued her academics at SMC where she had a short stint playing soccer for the Lady Corsairs."I loved it at SMC," said Barajas. "I started in '99 and played soccer for a year. The following year, I started working full time and attending school at night, so I wasn't able to continue playing, but I can relate to the athletes. I think that's sort of what drives me to help them."- See more at: http://www.thecorsaironline.com/sports/2013/10/09/byanca-barajas-a-local-girl/#sthash.iqhw0ziA.dpuf
