Hi, my name is Ivy Avanzado. I have been serving the Maricopa Community College District for over nine years, with five of those years dedicated to serving DRS students. I hold a Master's degree in Psychology from Arizona State University. I am an experienced adjunct instructor and have taught First Year Experience and Psychology courses. In my
leisure time, I enjoy traveling. So far, I have visited 12 countries outside the United States. Additionally, I find pleasure in tending my backyard vegetable garden and raising chickens with my family. I am beyond thrilled to work as a Recruiter at GCC, as I feel indebted to the college district where I received my education. I am also excited to help future GCC students navigate the complexities of the college application process, make meaningful connections with a diverse range of students, and support them as they make crucial decisions about their academic and career paths.
