Welcome to Gavilan College!

I’ve had the privilege of serving students at Gavilan College since 2005, and I’m also a proud Gavilan alum. Having navigated many of the same challenges our students face, I understand that balancing college, work, family, and other responsibilities isn’t always easy.

Our CalWORKs and Fresh Success team is here to help you navigate those challenges, connect you with resources, and support you in reaching your educational and personal goals. Please stop by to say hello, ask questions, share a concern, or celebrate a success with us.

You don’t have to navigate college alone. We’re here to support you every step of the way.

I feel that because of my experiences I will be able to understand and assist you better. My experience in working with the public has taught me how support and hard work can lead to success for those in need.
