I began my career at EVC spring 1976 as the EVC switchboard operator.  Since then I have worn various hats at both EVC and SJCC campuses.  I became a Coordinator- Counselor at SJCC in 1998 with the EOP&S program.  In 2006 I transfer to the EVC counseling department.  I love being here…EVC is home.    

I have various interests.  I am a passionate gardener and even started a small business:  Lady Bug Gardening.  My quiet time is often spent reading or journalizing.  Also, I am a super cool grandmother.  Time with my grandchildren is precious.  We enjoy roller skating, playing basketball or soccer, and sight-seeing.  I love to travel and visiting Europe was fantastic.  My mantra is: Life is way too short, so one must live it.
