The degrees that I have earned are the Bachelor of Science,(Western Michigan University) Master of Arts, Education Specialist and Doctor of Philosophy (The University of Michigan). Concentration: English/Speech and Education Administration.

I have taught many courses in our district at The College of Alameda, Laney and Merritt Colleges over 20 years, so I am committed to our college family of students, faculty and staff, as well as administrators.

I love teaching and mentoring students of all ethnicities and genders.
I have received many Community Service Awards. One specifically that I am proud of is the Image Award presented to me in recognition of contributions that have improved the lives of African-Americans in Tulare County. The award was presented to me by the Tulare County Alliance of African-American Women and the Advance-Register Newspaper.
