Biography
I joined WVC as a social work intern in the Fall of 1996, and found my niche in the Educational Transition/Adult Re-entry (ET) Program. Since then, I have the joy of serving students from all walks of life.
Academic Service
Currently, I am not a member of any formal committee. Every single day, I try to do my counseling job as best as possible. I am in the position that students look up to me, so I have the responsibility to make a positive impact in their lives by empowering and preparing them to reach their highest potential.
