Hello, my name is Bee and I am the Veteran’s Academic Mentor for Cuesta College. I also have been a student here at Cuesta College since Fall 2017. Alongside with both roles, I am an Army Veteran as well. I served in the United States Army National Guard from 2000-2009 and I reenlisted in 2018.
Working with the Student Success Center, my role as the Veteran’s Academic Mentor is to reach out to fellow students who are using their or their family member’s G.I. Bill to attend Cuesta College and see how they are succeeding academically. Listening to the student’s progress, I am able to guide them to different people and resources that may assist in making their student academic goals here at Cuesta College more achievable. Having a successful college education here at Cuesta College myself, I would like to see that every Veteran and dependent of a Veteran experience their own collegiate success. 
The best way to reach me is via my student email: bernatrice_pezzi@my.cuesta.edu
(Hours for spring semester are Wednesdays only)

Hello, my name is Jamie Bettencourt and I am an Academic Success Coach at the Cuesta College SLO campus. I have worked for Cuesta for 8 years, the last three as an Academic Coach. I am a graduate of Cuesta and am committed to working with and supporting all students. This is a particularly challenging time to be a student and I want to offer myself as a resource for you. As an Academic Success Coach, I talk to students frequently about how school and classes are going and offer support in any area that they might need. Common topics are time management, organization, prioritizing tasks, motivation, communication with faculty, study techniques, test taking strategies and others. I am currently available through call, text, email or Zoom.
Please let me know what questions you might have and how I might be of service to you.

Thank you,

Jamie Bettencourt
Academic Counselor
