Bio
Biography
I have been associated with Glendale Community College for 23 years. I started out as a student here in 1998 and moved on to become an intern, adjunct faculty, and finally, residential faculty in the English department. Currently, I serve as the assistant chair for the English/Reading/Creative Writing/Journalism department. I teach at the GCC North campus. I also serve as the Director of the Writing Center, a free tutoring service meant to help students with their writing assignments.
I am the founder/co-chair of the Strategic Planning Committee for GCC North. I am also involved with the Actionable Change for Employee Satisfaction (ACES) committee. The committee is involved with conducting research and analysis to provide recommendations that help increase employee satisfaction.
I am a lifelong learner, and I believe that great educators must be great students first. I am a doctoral aspirant at Grand Canyon University, where I am working on earning a doctorate in Organizational Leadership with emphasis on Organizational Management. On a personal note, I am a trained classical dancer, and my daughter and I perform often at cultural locations across the valley. I am passionate about culture and ethnic heritage, and I serve on the board of a large non-profit organization geared towards building an appreciation for the arts.
