I arrived in the United States from my native Cuba one month before the

Mariel Boat Lift of 1980. My young mother—determined to reunite with

my grandparents in America in search of freedom and the American

Dream—successfully obtained political asylum. Our struggles to flee

Castro’s regime and the good fortune of growing up in the land of the

free, inspire me to work tirelessly so that anyone with a penny and a

dream can enter a community college campus and transform his or her

life through the opportunities of education.

I am a seasoned and proven senior

executive, with experience serving concurrently as president of

two college campuses and a Virtual College. The accumulation

of knowledge and skills that I have acquired over almost 30

years in education, including at the largest community college

in the nation, serving over 165K students in multiple roles, as

vice provost, associate provost, academic dean, dean of

students, dean of the faculty and student services, associate

dean, chair, and professor, among others, make me particularly

well suited to pursue this extraordinary opportunity for the

position of President of Clark College. Toward that end, I

embrace this calling with enthusiasm, driven by an unwavering

commitment to our greatest asset—Students First!

Miami Dade College is a highly complex and interconnected

matrix organization. Select members of the College’s executive

leadership team are frequently appointed to oversee parallel vertical (campus-based) and/or

horizontal (collegewide) functions throughout all campuses and the District, either as part of the

College President’s Cabinet (campus-based; vertical) or the Executive Vice President and Provost’s

Cabinet (collegewide; horizontal), on behalf of the College’s most valuable asset, its 165,000

students.

I’ve been married to my wonderful husband, Mark, for almost 14 years. We live in Hollywood, FL

with our 13-year old rescued Black Lab (Bunny is 13 going on 2, an adorable 70 lb. monster!). Mark

is very involved with the foster care community in S. Florida. We enjoy bringing family and friends

together, cooking delicious meals, playing dominoes, and planning our yearly travel adventure. I

speak five languages: Spanish, English, French, Italian, and Portuguese. Education changed my life.

“My hope emerges from

those places of struggle

where I witness individuals

positively transforming

their lives and the world

hopefulness. As teachers we

believe that learning is

possible, that nothing can

keep an open mind from

seeking after knowledge and

finding a way to know.” -Bell

Hooks.
