Personal Information
- Qualification
I was hired as an associate faculty to teach chemistry in 1993 at the Douglas Campus campus and later to teach more classes at the Sierra Vista campus. In 1998 I was hired as the Science Lab coordinator for the Sierra Vista campus, I worked at that position for about 6 years.
In the meantime I started to work on my Masters in Biology, which earlier in my life I did not complete. I earned my M.S. in Biology from U of A in 1995 and was fortunate to be hired the same year as a full time biology instructor for the Sierra Vista campus.
I love my job and enjoy teaching, just like some of the others in this field. Currently, I am also serving the college as the Department Chair for Sciences and hope my contribution to the college as this role brings about some positive effect for the college.
Recently I have been promoted and transfered as the Director of the Virtual Campus.
I am blessed with three sons, one a dentist, second working towards a periodontics degree, and youngest working in phyical therapy clicni. am married and hit my 30th anniversary last year. I love my husband and my three sons tremendously.
