Donica ~ Business & Computer Science Instructor
My
interest in learning and the love of participating in the educational
experience has brought me to College of the Siskiyous adjunct faculty
as a Business and Computer Science Instructor.
I restarted my educational journey at COS in 1991 as a part-time student,
receiving my Associate of Science Degree in Business Administration
with an Accounting Certificate here in 1996. I continued at Southern
Oregon University, finishing in 2002 with a Degree in Business Administration
with a minor in Psychology. I then worked for 3 years as a Lab Specialist
on both the Weed and Yreka Campus. It feels like I've completed the
circle and came home to be here now as an instructor.
Since 2002 I have been working with groups and individuals in the area
of Microenterprise Development. As both a counselor and trainer I have
experienced the amazing entrepreneurial spirit that is a part of our
community. Watching and helping this spirit grow is a joyful and satisfying
experience.
In May of 2007 I completed my Masters in Business Administration at
California State University - Chico. The culmination of this degree
was a 19 day trip to China as part of an International Business Studies
Program. Although China's population of 1.4 billion dwarf's anything
we see here in the US, being there showed me that this planet we call
home is smaller than we think. We truly live in a time of narrowing
social and business boundaries that require we learn to work and interact
in new ways. I can think of nothing I'd rather be doing than participating
in that process, both as a teacher and a student, here in Siskiyou County.
