She always jumps in when needed, and has established processes and managed new projects that comes with the establishment of this new graduate school. She is attentive, respectful, calm, and a joy to work with. She has planned successful events for students and donors, produced impressive promotional materials, all while herself earning an MBA! She truly encapsulates the qualities of a collaborative colleague and high performing contributer."

Thank you, Sabrina, for your 2.5 years of service and all you do for Cal Poly Pomona!

What is a quick tip that you want the campus to know?

What do you like to do when you are not working?

"There are many things but I love that in my position in this department, I get to connect with so many different entities on campus and it gives me a deeper appreciation for all the work that happens everyday at CPP by staff especially, but also students and faculty. Anyone I have ever asked for help, THANK YOU!!"

"Graduate school is within reach for anyone! I thought I would never be qualified for an MBA program (no business background + low undergrad GPA) but I was encouraged to still apply. And now, I have expanded my knowledge that has helped me in my job and have a 4.0!"

"Studying..... but I love spending time with my husband and our 2 dogs and 2 cats (yikes!), play video games, find new recipes and be active."

Is there an employee who you believe goes above and beyond for Cal Poly Pomona?
