Wh
at is your role at ECST?
I am the Administrative Coordinator of Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. I assist the Department Chair Dr. Daneshgaran in handling all students' paperwork, questions, issues, problems that occur daily.
Where did you grow up? Where do you live now?
I was born in Israel, and grew up in Jordan. I have been living in Alhambra for almost 15 years.
What do you do when you're not working? / What is a typical weekend like for you?
I am a single Mom and have my 13 year old daughter Gaby living with me and keeping me busy most of the time. When I do have the time I enjoy the outdoors, walking on the beach, riding my bike on the weekend, going to movies, hiking. However, most of my weekends are typically catching up on household chores, grocery shopping, running errands.
What do you do when you're not working? / What is a typical weekend like for you?
My favorite place is Mammoth Lakes. I went for a week in 2014 and loved everything about it. The lakes are so beautiful, so are the mountains, the various wild flowers, and trees. It is breath-taking.

This quarter, the faculty-driven
Shared Governance Task Force
will look into ways to improve our College committee structures and operating procedures. This work will include developing the ECST Constitution which defines the college committee charges and the election process to make committee service easier, more transparent, and more effective. One goal is to complete our College Committee voting by mid-May this year so that we can get a running start on College business next August (yes, August!).
Over this quarter you'll also be hearing about the work of the
Research Task Force
, as they make recommendations for sustainable support of faculty research. The
Advising Task Force
will be developing a student progress to degree policy this quarter as well. Your departments may be asked to vote on some of these policy recommendations this quarter.
Take a break, the mailroom has a Keurig coffee maker and a water cooler so bring your stash of k-cups.
