Q: What drew you to SRJC?
A: I worked 40 hours a week for free, and that’s how I fell in love with disability resource counseling. I never in my life thought I would be doing this type of counseling but I am so happy that it worked out this way.
Q: What inspired you to work in your chosen field?
A: Two of my students had schizophrenia when I was interpreting in LA, and those two inspired me to continue.
Q: What does learning mean to you?
A: Life is a long time learning experience. I think everyone comes from different backgrounds whether its cultural, linguistic or academic. Learning about others, in the end, you learn more about yourself.
Q: What is the sound track to your life?
A: I’m a huge Linkin Park fan. Not a lot of people know that about me but I’m a huge Linkin Park fan and I think that their very first album “Hybrid Theory” got me through a lot of hard times in life.
