College
As a senior in high school, I was unsure of what I wanted to do with my life. I was encouraged to enroll at the local community college and see if I discovered my passion. While I had always been fascinated by the fields of science, History quickly became my most interesting class. While at Cuesta College, I had the opportunity to learn and study from some of the best professors in our area. I had the opportunity to work and attend college, earning Associates Degrees in Social Sciences, History, and Philosophy.
After three years at Cuesta College, I was accepted as a transfer student to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. During my years as an undergraduate student, I learned and worked with some of the most influential professors I have ever met. They shaped not only my education, but also my future.
Since I was a little kid, I always enjoyed hearing stories. As I got older, I discovered that History is just the story of the entire world. As I have learned more, my appreciation for life and humanity has also increased.
My passion for teaching developed during my years in college when I had the opportunity to teach my peers and high school students. While I loved History, getting to spark that interest and understanding in other became one of my greatest desires. I realized that there were many life and academic lessons that I wanted to pass onto the next generation. Learning from the life and experiences of those that came before us is a skill and lesson that I want to pass on to my students.
