I am excited to share a wonderful collaborative opportunity that came about via the Eastfield College Gateway program and the Continuing Education department. For one week students chose a career field of interest to explore. The auto body class was a popular selection and many thanks to Ramiro Gutierrez and Carlos Ojeda. Also, a big thank you to the Continuing Education department in helping bring this avenue of the Gateway to College program to life.

We Want to Be Ready....Are You!

In addition to my position as the Director of the Eastfield College Gateway to College program I work as a graduate adjunct professor. One of the proudest moments for me as a professor came when 4 women in my Garland cohort produced a presentation summarizing my emphasis to challenge their own learning and stretch beyond their comfort with technology and in educating our youth to be College ready. Check out the video and take a moment to reflect on what you read and hear.....
