I represent more than 2.1-million community college students and oversee 114 California community colleges.
A great day involves making progress toward improving the lives of the students I serve. As a representative for over 2.1 million students, I work with leaders in California and throughout the country in order to bring attention and resources to those students. I also work to improve policies that will allow more students to have the opportunity to finish a quality college program in order to begin working or transfer to another university.
