CheryleeKushida.jpg A bit about me: I graduated from University of California, Irvine, with a B.S. in Mathematics and continued my education at Claremont Graduate School with an M.B.A. in Management Information Systems. I have been teaching full-time at SAC for 21 years and three years part-time prior to teaching full-time. Before working in education I was a Systems Engineer at IBM. I worked mainly in the large systems (mainframe) arena and operating systems. It was a terrific job, but after having children, a more time flexible career was better suited to my new family lifestyle. I enjoy teaching at SAC and working with the variety of students here. It is especially rewarding to assist students in achieving their educational goals! I hope I can help you achieve yours!
