A first-generation college graduate, I am an interdisciplinary professor and scholar
focusing on intersectional gender studies, with graduate degrees in education, English,
and modern American history. My course materials and readings explore and investigate
correlative dynamics across class, ethnicity, gender, society, and sport in global
multicultural experiences that stimulate critical thinking for everyone. I aim for
low-stress and positive-learning journeys in the classroom for all students.
Email me with any questions about anything! Always happy to connect with future and past students
... I have 32-plus years of collegiate advising, coaching, teaching, and training
experience at two- and four-year campuses in Arizona, California, Colorado, Michigan,
Oregon, and Washington. It is my chosen pathway to share knowledge and resources in
support of Foothill students on their individual and unique life quests. I also have
Silicon Valley corporate experience dating back to 1996, which helps connect classroom
learning to real-life employment experiences so students understand how to apply college
knowledge to their future work roles.
As a member of the Foothill College community since 2002, I acknowledge I am a guest
on the ancestral and traditional land of the First People of this region, the present-day
Muwekma Ohlone Tribe of the San Francisco Bay Area (formerly Verona Band of Alameda County). I support
the sovereignty of this Chochenyo-Thámien-Ramaytush-Awáswas Ohlone-speaking tribal
group and other indigenous peoples. Please see the full Land Acknowledgement for Foothill
College here; thank you.
