My Bio
I consider it a significant professional privilege to work in the Community Education Center, at Pasadena City College, as a Senior Counselor and member of the Adjunct Faculty, with over 30 years of combined experience at USC and PCC, in student related issues, specializing in retention, student life, community service, and racial/ethnic social harmony.

I especially enjoy the relationships that I develop with students, parents, faculty, administrators, staff and the community. I possess many characteristics necessary to offer quality programming and student service support, as well as, community outreach toward academic achievement. Having received my B.A., M.A., and now ABD (All But Dissertation) in the Educational Leadership and Administration Doctorate program, at the University of Southern California, and as a community scholar, I consider Student, Faculty and Academic Affairs a major part of my life!

I am confident that the combination of my practical work experience, administration skills, and history with recruitment, admission, advising, retention, student services and as a student, among many other responsibilities, (at the university and community college setting), has prepared me for making  immediate contributions to student related issues and I believe I provide the expertise, as well as the enthusiasm required for a counselor/faculty, in the Community Education Center at Pasadena City College. 

My area of expertise is that I am a “people person,” which has worked successfully with diverse groups and I am sensitive to student issues, as well as anticipating student’s needs. I am bright, outgoing, creative and committed to the pursuit of equality everywhere. I would also say that I have pursued an expressive life with meaningful success by making a difference by being of service to others. My personal background, coupled with my professional experience, lends itself to the support and success of students, faculty, staff and administrators at Pasadena City College.
