PASSIONATE
Chrissy is passionate about higher education because she knows the opportunities it creates. “For people like myself, coming from certain backgrounds, having an education really does give you some leverage to make things happen in your life,” she says, “I believe I am a living, breathing example of that, and I try to explain that to students.”
Chrissy earned her doctorate in education (EdD) at the University of North Texas. She’s been working with community and technical colleges for 16 years. “I love seeing all types of students from all walks of life,” she says. “It’s welcoming to all students. Come as you are, and we’ll get you to the next step.”
She didn’t even know where Spokane was when she was hired at SFCC almost seven years ago. The Dallas native moved here with her husband and mother in the middle of January. “But I loved the picturesque nature of Spokane. Beautiful trees, beautiful mountains.”
