About Me:

• I started at Cabrillo College in 2016 and worked for over 6 years part-time as a Job Developer managing the CalWORKs work study program while also raising my three daughters. I joined the Career Education team in 2019 to help build more comprehensive services for workplace readiness skills and job placement opportunities. Most recently I have taken on the Internship and Work Experience Faculty role starting Fall 2023 where I hope to build more partnership with employers and continue to empower students to engage in professional growth in order to reach their academic, professional and personal life goals.

• My first job after college was as an Admin Assistant/Together for Youth Coordinator at United Way of Santa Cruz County and then I moved over to the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch Program as a Program Assistant and then Outreach Specialist. I returned to Graduate school while working Full-time and starting a family. I then began working as a contractor teaching after school science, Inter-Personal Communication classes and Financial Literacy Workshops for several employers including Santa Cruz Community Ventures before eventually coming to Cabrillo.

Education: I have a Bachelors Degree in Biology and Environmental Studies from UCSC and a Masters Degree in Public Policy from CSUMB.
