I love Michael Jackson, Janis Joplin and Elvis! They are my triumvirate. I also enjoy watching true crime, hosting my podcast Generation Mixed, reading voraciously, traveling, graphology, astrology, Tarot card reading, and finding new adventures!

BIPOC, Queer, First-Generation College Graduate, mixed race identified
I was born and raised in NYC to a multiracial couple. I attended Catholic school from grades 1-12. I attended my first college, Marymount Manhattan College on scholarship, but flunked out due to it being a wrong fit for me. I found redemption at a CA community college, Bakersfield, attended 2 1/2 years, the transferred to SFSU, where I changed majors in my junior year and was able to graduate with my degree in Developmental Psychology within three semesters. I started working at my alma mater, and have been working in the educational field for the last 23 years. I graduated from Argosy University after surviving a brain injury in 2012, with an MA in Forensic Psychology. I started working at West Valley at 2015, and enjoy interactions between myself and students the most. I was built to work in education; when I was a student at Bakersfield College, I used to help my dormies select their classes based on GE requirements and scheduling. I found it to be fun, so I decided to forgo a job at the post office upon graduation, and chose education instead.
As a Gen Xer, I look and act a lot younger than my age is on my driver's license. I believe in making a positive impact on this world starting with one person-myself-and then bringing that forward to others. I am the flame that illuminates the candle. I am a hippie at heart and believe in bringing joy, happiness, and empowerment in anyone's life. Life's too short to dwell on anger and negativity.
