I Found My Voice at MJC

I began taking classes at MJC when I was 15 years old through a dual enrollment program at Valley Charter High School. My mom had attended MJC, and I grew up hearing about how great it was to be in classes surrounded by people of all different ages and backgrounds with the common interest of getting a college education. I could barely speak in front of people, but Mr. Guy was such a great public speaking teacher that I became a Communications major. I graduated MJC at 19, transferred to Stan State, was appointed to the California State University Board of Trustees by Governor Brown, finished my B.A. degree at 21, began my Master’s Degree in Public Administration, and was elected as president of the CSU system-wide student association. None of it would be possible without MJC and ALL of the fantastic teachers of the Communications Department. I am so thankful!
