Welcome to General Work Experience at Cuyamaca College. I'm an advocate and strong supporter of work-based-learning. Work Experience is one of the most important things you can do while in college. I encourage all students to seek out internships, volunteer opportunities and work. We will learn employability skills and put together our career portfolios. I will meet your employers, supervisors and help you to be successful on the job. Details and forms are in your Canvas Container.

I send Canvas Announcements regularly. These Announcements go to the email you have on file in your WebAdvisor. All Announcements are in Canvas under "Announcements" on the left Course Menu bar and listed in chronological order so you can scroll through in case you missed previous Announcements. You can also find the last two Announcements when you first log into Canvas on my Home Page. Make sure your email is correct in WebAdvisor as this is the email in which all Canvas information will go to. In addition to sending out weekly announcements, I send out information, resources, and updates often!

My teaching philosophy is the belief that all students can be successful and find their passion. My goal for this course is to empower you with tools and resources to overcome barriers and roadblocks you may have faced or will face along your educational and career journey. I encourage your contribution to our campus community in seeking effective change, social justice and anti-racism thinking and behavior. My purpose is to help you become aware of your talents, skills and values to become lifelong learners who seek truth and justice through your education, career, and lifelong success!
Our campus is committed to maintaining a welcoming, safe, and inclusive environment where every student, regardless of immigration status, is supported in their educational journey.

We encourage you to take full advantage of the resources available to you on campus, including but not limited to counseling, legal assistance, financial support, and more. The Dreamers Resource Center and other support networks on our campus are available to assist with any concerns you may have during this time.
