Biography
“Anything is possible when you keep it in your mind and work hard towards it.” Those
were the words of my grandmother. She knew I had a dream that no one else in the family
possessed. I am a first-generation student who attended and graduated from college
in my family. I always knew education was the pathway to success; therefore, I decided
at an early age to earn a college degree. It’s a great pleasure for me to be able
to guide and assist students in the journey of pursuing their college dreams at Montgomery
College. As an MC alumnus, I aim to introduce the students to the college community,
such as faculty members, supporting staff members, and student life. My greatest joy
is to see students celebrate their education accomplishments here at MC, the best
community college in Maryland, and to move forward to a four-year college or start
their career. You can find me at the Rockville Campus, where my door will always be
open for students needing assistance.

Biography
I know firsthand that Montgomery College is a resource for the family. As a parent
with young children, I was grateful for the Youth Programs' wide variety of camps
and classes for my girls to be involved in during the summer. In high school, they
enrolled in Test Prep when they were in the college selection process. Our oldest
is an MC alum and cried to go back to MC once she transferred. And our third is a
current student. I even did the prerequisites I needed for my Master's program at
Montgomery College! We had wonderful experiences with caring instructors who prepared
us for what came next. Montgomery College can be that resource for your family too.
