My name is Brittnee Quintanar and I have worked in higher education since 2006 and as a California Community College (CCC) counselor and instructor since 2014. As an alumni of two Inland Empire CCCs, I am honored to give back to the system that opened many doors of economic upward mobility for myself and my family. I absolutely love being a CCC counselor and helping students like yourself realize and achieve your career and academic goals! I especially enjoy working with STEM students, helping you navigate a rigorous course load and successful transfer to a university for completion of your bachelor's degree. I look forward to getting to know you and learning about your personal academic and career goals. Please reach out to me with any questions or assistance scheduling a MESA counseling appointment.
