David Payán

Counselor

As a counselor, one thing I have always prided myself in is simplifying what could be a complicated process. Understanding GE, IGETC, AA and certificate requirements can be a bit overwhelming but as you hear these terms more, they become clearer. My parents are immigrants from Mexico, so I was a first-generation college student. My most valuable degree is my Associates. Getting my AA was a steppingstone towards my BA and gave me the confidence that I could continue and achieve more. My hobbies are hiking, biking and reading and I like listening to Selena and the Beatles. Hablo español pero necisito practicarlo mas.
