Juan Carlos Gonzalez, Administrative Coordinator




What qualities and/or experiences do you bring to your job at SSS?

  • Being a first generation, low income student allows me to empathize with the students in the program. Studying public adminstration and actively seeking work sites with varied groups allows me to work efficiently.
What is the greatest challenge facing SSS students?
  • Learning and mastering "the system."  I believe everyone has the potential to be successful but to do well in college, 1st generation college students must prick the bubble they grow into from growing up in non-college educated households.
What keeps you coming back to work everyday?
  • Bagels on Friday
  • Wonderful staff and students
What are some of your interests outside of your SSS job?
  • Cooking, listening to music and going to the movies
  • One day I hope to have a restaurant /bar named after my grandmother Maria serving a complete Jaliscience menu.
What quote would best describe you?
  • "It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to cry, it takes strength to be gentle and kind." -Morrissey
