For Eresa, it is a great honor to become a part of College of Marin. She offers over twenty years of professional practice in operations and finance leadership roles. She has a range of work experiences, including serving as controller at Napa Valley College, senior accounting manager at Buck Institute for Education, internal auditor at Kaiser Permanente, and customer service director with United Airlines.
Eresa believes that serving our community college students is a great opportunity to be impactful in our diversity, equity, and inclusion goals and aspirations. Eresa shares, “When we do our work with integrity and compassion, the result is life-changing, especially for our students furthest from opportunity. Our work in administrative services communicates the story of how we carefully manage as good stewards the limited resources entrusted to us by the community to support our mission and strategic goals. But we are just one part of the whole body. Together with our talented faculty members, dedicated student services team, engaged governing board, effective executive leadership, and devoted staff, we create a synergy that serves at best our most important stakeholder — our students.” Eresa adds her learning from the global pandemic as, “A good community is important…to receive support from and give back to. This is how we raise our young as a village and how we emerge from challenges stronger and better.”
Eresa earned the Master of Business Administration degree focused in Executive Leadership and Global Entrepreneurship from Sonoma State University’s Graduate School of Business and Economics. She is a Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) and earned the Certified in Healthcare Compliance (CHC) accreditation from the Compliance Certification Board. She is currently pursuing her Doctorate in Education focused in Organizational Leadership and Social Justice at San Francisco State University.
