About
I earned a B.A. in Communication from San Francisco State University, a M.A. in Educational Counseling from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and an Ed.D. in Educational Leadership from UC Santa Barbara. I have worked in public education since 2000, first as a K-12 classroom instructor, later as a community college administrator of SBCC's Dual Enrollment Program, and now as a faculty counselor at Ventura College. I have researched dual enrollment extensively and wrote my dissertation about dual enrollment and community college persistence. I believe in educational access and equity and am a co-founder of the Get Focused Stay Focused Program aimed at helping all students achieve college and career readiness and success.
