Milestones
My road in life has been direct.
I like to think, talk, have meaningful conversations, and help people, so I decided that becoming a college professor would be a good fit for me.
I earned my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in communications from Arizona State University.
After starting my career in higher education, I went to Rio Salado College to gain some teacher training tools and boost my skills.
I’ve spent my career teaching college and taking on leadership roles where I could help people, including jobs as an academic advisor, assistant director of education, and director of career services.
In every job I’ve held, I took the initiative to do more than was asked of me, which has helped me gain the skills necessary to move forward in my career.
I currently work as an academic advisor and communication adjunct faculty member for Maricopa Community Colleges.
Additionally, I started my own personal and professional development business, Change Your Channel, through which I help people change their thoughts to live happier and healthier lives.

Day to Day
I spend a lot of my day meeting with students, providing direct support, and having great conversations about what they want to do, what they like to do, and how their classes are going. Most of my work involves meetings and emails. I also teach a communications class, which includes grading students' classwork as well. Finally, I put some kind of energy into my own business each day. That can mean filming something, creating content, or working on my website.
