About

I am proud to be First-gen because I've set an example for my kids and to honor my parents who were never able to finish their education.

Students can contact me regarding questions about being an older First-gen transfer and returning student and how that impacted my education process. 

Biography

In 1974, my mom moved us from the Midwest to Cotati so she could attend SSU. Her education was interrupted with the demands of single parenthood. I returned to SRJC when my boys were 2 1/2 years old and was a transfer student to SSU. There were many delays and I finally completed my BA in Economics in Spring 2018. I grew up in Santa Rosa and am soon to send my boys off into the world.

Education

B.A. in Economics, Sonoma State University
