PRIORITIES
As a PCC alumnus, I understand firsthand the opportunities this institution creates for students and families throughout our region.
Responsible Stewardship, Measurable Results
Pasadena City College is one of our community’s most important public institutions. Every dollar entrusted to PCC should be spent wisely, transparently, and in ways that directly improve student success.
As Trustee, I will focus on strong financial oversight, long-term planning, and accountability for results. Taxpayers, students, and families deserve confidence that PCC is operating efficiently and delivering value.
Strong stewardship is the foundation that makes every other priority possible.
Responsible budgeting and fiscal sustainabilityResponsive and professional governance focused on accountability and collaboration
Transparent reporting on student outcomes and performance
Strategic investment in programs that demonstrate impact
Modernizing operations to improve efficiency and reduce costs
Designating PCC as a Community Resilience Center (CRC) and access State resources for building improvements
Ensuring resources are directed toward student success rather than unnecessary bureaucracy
Expanding Pathways to Opportunity
Education should create clear pathways to careers, university transfer, and lifelong economic mobility. PCC must continue building stronger connections between high schools, colleges, universities, and employers.
Students should encounter fewer barriers and more opportunities as they move through their educational journey. Whether a student is pursuing a four-year degree, a technical credential, or a career change, PCC should help them move forward with confidence.
Our goal should be simple: every student should have a clear path forward.
Expanding dual-enrollment opportunities with local high schools and universities
Strengthening transfer pathways to UC, CSU, and private universities
Building partnerships with employers and industry leaders
Supporting workforce training aligned with emerging careers
Implementing the State provided veteran and worker credit for prior learning (CPL)
Creating stackable credentials that allow students to learn and earn simultaneously
Building the Future of Learning
The world is changing rapidly. PCC should lead in creating a more flexible, student-centered model of education that prepares learners for the future while expanding access and improving outcomes today.
The future of education will look very different from the systems designed decades ago. Technology, new learning models, and changing workforce needs create an opportunity for PCC to become a national leader in learner-centered innovation.
Education should adapt to learners—not require learners to adapt to institutions
Leveraging emerging echnology to improve advising, enrollment, and student support services
Expanding flexible learning options, including online, hybrid, and asynchronous programs
Supporting competency-based and applied learning models
Developing modular and stackable pathways that allow learning to occur throughout a lifetime
Recognizing prior learning, work experience, and industry credentials where appropriate
Strengthening digital infrastructure to improve access and student success
Creating more seamless transfer and articulation pathways between institutions
