Vicki was born and raised on a large commercial farm in Napa, California. She was able to combine her farm knowledge and love of science when she studied at California State Polytechnical Institute in San Luis Obispo with a major in Dairy Science. She has worked in the SFCC Admissions & Registration office for 20 years. During this time, she had the opportunity to serve students from application to completion and beyond.

Vicki joined the Computing, Math, and Science Division as a Guided Pathway Specialist in 2022. She is passionate about STEM, pathways and dedicated to helping students achieve their goals by meeting them where they are.

When off-campus, she enjoys spending time with her family, gardening and reading. She is proud of her 3 sons and 2 daughters-in-law who attended CCS.

Originally from Sweden, Asa came to the United States as a high school exchange student and quickly fell in love with ranch dressing and TV crime dramas, two additions she unfortunately still struggles with. She continued her academic career by earning a BS in Physics, minor in Math, from Sam Houston State University and an MS in Medical Physics from University of Colorado, Anschutz Medical Campus. She also holds a certificate of Technical Communications from the University of California, Santa Cruz and an MFA in Creative Writing from Eastern Washington University. Before she became a full-time professor, Asa worked in the San Francisco Bay Area IT industry for many years. Asa is passionate about mentoring students and increasing the enrollment of underrepresented populations in STEM classes.

Holly is the Lab Technician for the Physical Science Department at SFCC.  She earned a B.S. in Geology from Eastern Washington University.  When she’s not at work doing science, she is backpacking and camping with her German Shepherd.  Holly is passionate about the physical sciences because they help answer some of our planet’s greatest mysteries.  She is happy to be a part of student success in STEM at SFCC!
