Hello current and prospective students! I’m excited to be part of your educational journey at Las Positas College. Before becoming a full‑time faculty member at LPC, I built my career in sales and marketing both within organizations and as an entrepreneur/freelancer. I’ve held roles such as Social Media & Communications Manager in the music and entertainment industry, Sales Executive at Indeed.com, Content Creator, and E‑commerce Manager.

I’ve also taught as an adjunct faculty member at Ohlone College, College of San Mateo, Chabot College, Diablo Valley College, and UC Berkeley Extension. Teaching has taken me abroad, I spent a semester instructing in Vietnam and have taught numerous cohorts of international students through UC Berkeley’s International Program.

My educational path began at community college, just like many of you. I attended City College of San Francisco’s Culinary Arts & Hospitality Program and earned my AS before working in the restaurant industry. From there, I completed my BS in Business with options in Marketing and Corporate Management at California State University, East Bay. After several years in sales and marketing, I returned to CSU East Bay to earn my MBA with a focus in Marketing Management.

Outside of work, I love hiking with my family, traveling, and staying active as a motorcyclist, cyclist, and runner. I believe deeply in finding what you love to do and maintaining a healthy work life balance. Stay curious and think aboout leaving your comfort zone regularly!
