California State University, Long Beach:MS, Counseling, Student Development in Higher Ed. California State University, Fullerton: Ed.D, Educational Leadership. As a first generat...ion college student, she was not sure what career path she wanted to explore. But, she always enjoyed helping others. A career as a college Counselor was exactly what she needed to pursue because it combines two passions of hers: a love for helping and a love for the power a college education can have! In her spare time, she loves attending concerts, and drinking coffee. She also loves to read! She enjoys taking long naps, listening to all types of music especially rock and Spanish music like Jenni Rivera. #mtsacbridgeprogram #bridgecounselors #bridgeeducationaladvisors To make an appointment with Anabel she can be reached: 909-610-9375 [email protected] [email protected] or www.mtsac.edu/bridge/
