Discipline: Communication Studies • College: Cerritos College
Desiree Ann Montenegro is a passionate Communication Studies instructor currently shaping minds at Cerritos College, Long Beach City College, and Palo Verde College. Armed with a Master of Arts (M.A.) from CSULA, she not only educates but also previously contributed to the field as a member of the FACCC Board of Governors and the FACCC Part-Time Committee.
Inspired by the supportive network she found during her own studies, Desiree embarked on a journey into higher education, driven by her desire to empower and inspire students. If she could journey through time, she’d set her sights on the vibrant 1920s, drawn by the era’s music, fashion, and art. Reflecting her belief in the transformative power of gratitude, she dreams of teaching a class on practicing gratitude in times of adversity.
