A community college alumna myself, I graduated from Delaware Technical Community College with an Associate of Applied Science in Business Administration/Customer Service Management. I transferred straight to Wilmington University where I received a Bachelor of Science in Organizational Management. After working in the telecommunications industry and nonprofit I decided to return for my Masters in Business Education at Ball State University. I found a professional home at MPC as a Business and Work Experience Instructor.
With encouragement and support from my colleagues at MPC I decided to pursue my Doctorate in Education with a focus on Leadership and Innovation at New York University. My dissertation focused on increasing Latinx enrollment in Work Experience Education.
In my spare time I run a multi-level Girl Scout Troop in Carmel, have been the leader of the Carmel High School Business Club, and I volunteer with the United Way Monterey County VITA program, preparing taxes alongside MPC business students.
We are so excited you're here! Welcome to
