Being a professor comes with a certain
level of responsibility, because that's a
really privileged position, right? I'm a
first-generation college student ,I don't
come from, you know, sort of a family
where my grandparents and great
grandparents and great-grandparents went
to college. Being a
professor of color, being a Chicano
professor for me means that I have a
real responsibility to the community
that I come from. I have a responsibility
to use the opportunities that I've been
given. The education that I've been able
to access to try and bring about a
broader good in society.
I'm an assistant professor in the Department of
leadership studies here in the School of Education.
So I teach ,my primary affiliation is in
the HESA program which is higher
education and student affairs, so the
majority of the courses that I teach are
in that HESA program, But I also teach
in the broader ONL program and in the
general ed program here in the School of
Education. My background is actually in
social and cultural studies in education,
that's what my degree is in. I have lived
in the Bay Area since 1996 which is when
I graduated from high school. So I
graduated from high school, I came up to
UC Berkeley as an undergraduate student,
spent four years there did community
work for a few years, worked at a
nonprofit in Oakland for the intervening
years and then came back to graduate
school, also at UC Berkeley.
So the way that I ended up at USF was
that I really wanted to be, you know, I
was at a very research intensive
University, which was UC Berkeley and I
was also at a really teaching intensive
University at San Jose State, and there
were a lot of, both of those experiences
that I really loved and I knew that I
wanted to be in a place where both
research and teaching were really valued.
I grew up in a family with really clear
sets of ideas around justice and
fairness. I want to help contribute to a
more just conversation about immigration
reform in this country. I want to be a
part of the work that's happening on the
ground to bring about more humane and
just policies for immigrants and
immigrant families. I also am involved in
work here on campus that's about trying
to make USF a more just place as well, so
I'm the chair of the Task Force on
services and support for undocumented
students here at USF, working with a
group of faculty staff and students
across the campus to think about how USF
can be a more welcoming place for
undocumented students. So for me, you know,
making a difference is really about
using whatever foothold we have, wherever
we're located, to be able to sort of push
that door a little bit more widely open
and that's what I try and do. I love
teaching, I love walking into the
classroom, I love seeing the kind of
transformation that happens when
students come into a classroom unsure
about their abilities or unsure about
their ideas and seeing the kind of
transformation that happens over the
course of a semester. I love that, I love
teaching and I love working with students.
I want to prepare my students to be
changemakers in higher education because
we know that it's an institution that is
fraught with questions of equity and
access. I want my students to be a part
of changing those kinds of policies and
practices .
