Personal Statement
My approach to education reflects nearly three decades of personal and professional growth in college teaching experience and administrative responsibilities. I value excellence in teaching and learning, celebrating the institution and its community, respecting the worth, dignity, and potential of all people, commitment to continuing growth and education, the importance of entrepreneurial partnerships, and interaction with and service that is well given to others. My family background and being a first-generation college graduate have taught me a positive work ethic, egalitarianism, dedication to justice and peace, commitment to excellence, a lively sense of humor, personal resilience, flexibility, and resource stewardship. My higher education experience has provided a strong foundation in effective teaching and learning, assessment and accountability, supporting learner goals and being responsive to student needs, the interrelationships between the liberal arts and professional/career-technical programs, using technology to serve the needs of learning, working effectively with ambiguity, and internal and external collaboration. I thoroughly enjoy and am challenged by helping students achieve their goals. The community college provides an excellent arena in which I have grown and developed, and in which I have much to give.

Personal Statement
Community colleges provide access to higher education and a better life for more California students than any other system of higher learning. To fulfill this responsibility most effectively, my work is guided by twin principles that remain firm during changing times: “students first” and “data-driven decisions.” Placing students first leads us to articulate clear learning outcomes and to find innovative ways of reframing education to enable student success, such as learning communities and distance education. Data-driven processes like program review allow us to make informed decisions to allocate our resources in ways that support continuous improvement. These principles, coupled with transparent leadership and mindful stewardship, create a dynamism at Foothill College that I would like to be part of. My service as a teacher, dean, and senior administrator has prepared me to lead those who share my values, as Foothill College does. Having worked in both instructional and student services areas, I appreciate not only the unique contributions each makes to student success but also how they can work together in powerful synergy to address student needs, a model embraced at Foothill. Finally, Foothill College is at a time of transition, a transition that I would like to help guide.

Personal Statement
Foothill College enjoys a well-deserved reputation for academic excellence, talented people, exemplary student outcomes, and innovative spirit. Drawing on my 30 years of higher education administrative experience and driven by my passion for student access and success, I desire to lead Foothill to its next level of distinction, which I envision as an increase in the participation and success rates of underrepresented and underserved students. A good college enables student learning; a great college inspires and supports student learning among the least prepared, the least confident, and the most marginalized. A good college has a clear direction; a great college listens to all voices across the campus and into the community as it establishes institutional goals and acts on them. A good college manages growth and operates within its budget; a great college makes strategic choices as to the source of growth and attracts resources through partnerships with business, government, community organizations, professional organizations, and other educational institutions. Foothill already demonstrates many characteristics of a great college and I seek to enhance those characteristics while making the College’s opportunities accessible and inviting to the broadest possible audience.
