Welcome

Greetings LAMC students!

I am so happy that you are visiting my LAMC webpage. I am very excited to work with you!

You can click on the left hand toolbar, for specific courses that I teach and to get further information.

I began as an adjunct instructor at LAMC in the Child Development Department in spring 2009. At LAMC I have taught Ch Dev 1 (Bilingual- English & Spanish) both on campus and at local high schools, Ch Dev 2 (Bilingual), Ch Dev 62 (Bilingual), Ch Dev 10, Ch Dev 22, and assisted in supervising practicum students (Ch. Dev. 23).

In fall 2016 I became a full-time, assistant professor of Education and Child Development at LAMC. I am now teaching the Education courses (EDUC 01 and 203) and some Child Development courses.

I served as the interim coordinator/ "chair" of the Child Development Department at CSU-Dominguez Hills, during the fall/spring, and summer 2016 semesters. I taught at CSUDH for over nine years and built the fieldwork component of the Ch. Dev. department.

At CSUDH I taught a range of Ch Dev courses, including:

Introduction to Child Development,

Infancy- Growth &  Development from pre-conception to two years 

Schoolage years- Growth & Development from six years to twelve years

Development in Diverse Contexts, 

Adolescence- Growth & Development from twelve years to emerging adulthood

and the senior (capstone) internship course where students completed 90 to 135 hours of field experience.

I had the pleasure of serving as the CSUDH faculty advisor for the Child Development Workforce Initiative (CDWFI) Grant with LA Southwest Community College, where I coordinated and presented workshops to transfer students in order to promote successful transition from a community college to CSUDH.

I was fortunate to be a senior teaching assistant (TA) at USC under Dr. Seli and Dr. Mendoza, where I worked with freshman, athletes, and international students in a course related to learning, academic regulation, and college success. I am proud to have earned a Doctorate in Education (EdD), with a concentration in educational psychology, from USC... Fight On!

 I look forward to meeting you and assisting with your learning at LAMC. 

Soar like an Eagle!!!
