Corina Trevino |
Trevino
says she wouldn’t want to work anywhere else.
“I know
this college well because all my kids came here,” she said. “My daughter and I
used to walk and run on the track. It’s such a beautiful campus. It was my
dream to work here.”
A San Diego
native who has lived in East County almost all of her life, Trevino worked for
Bank of America, General Dynamics and an off-road motorcycle firm before
Cuyamaca College hired her in October of 2013 as its Business Services
Specialist. In that position, the National University graduate with a
bachelor’s degree in business administration was responsible for routing all
business forms and contracts, along with making sure paperwork was properly
completed and signed. The post also includes being the campus switchboard
operator.
