Program Coordinator
About:
Hello world. I’m a native San Diegan who grew up three miles north of the Mexican/American border. My professional aspiration is to help students reach their full potential. As a Program Coordinator in the IDEA Center, I support the IDEA Scholars program and several annual events. I subscribe to intrusive advising but became more flexible during the pandemic. On a personal note, I enjoy fitness, surfing or beach-related activities, plants, ramen, and vinyl records.
Currently, I call Chula Vista home, but I’ve lived in North Park (San Diego), Westwood, Central Los Angeles, Pasadena, La Cañada-Flintridge, Culver City, Albuquerque, Chicago (greater area), Boston, and Tijuana.
