After graduating high school I attended Los Angeles Valley College and majored in Liberal Arts. My goal was to become an elementary school teacher. While attending college, I worked as a teacher’s assistant at Erwin Street Elementary School. In this capacity, I was assigned to work with second graders. After three years of working, and enjoying every minute of it, the principal offered me a position as an Early Childhood Associate with the Hand-in-Hand program which was funded by the State. This job gave me the opportunity to work with children individually.
After leaving Erwin Street Elementary School, I received my Associate of Arts Degree in Liberal Arts from Los Angeles Valley College and transferred to California State University, Northridge (CSUN) and majored in Sociology (Social Welfare). At the same time I applied for a job at Los Angeles Valley College CalWORKs program. This program introduced me to new opportunities for advancement.
On May 2003, I graduated from CSUN with a bachelor’s degree in social welfare. Immediately after that, I became a Program Specialist at Los Angeles Valley College. This new position opened a variety of opportunities and experiences. As a result, I decided to continue my education in a master’s degree program in Public Administration. Currently, I work at the Continuing Education Department as an instructor of Computer Technology in the Workplace. I enjoy working with people from different cultures and backgrounds. Determination, Perseverance, and the desire to learn new things have challenged me to complete the Master’s in Public Administration Program at CSUN.
