Discipline: English • College: Long Beach City College
We’re thrilled to introduce Velvet Pearson, a seasoned educator with over two decades of experience in higher education. Currently teaching English at Long Beach City College, she holds a Ph.D. from the University of Southern California. Her journey into higher education began after a fulfilling experience teaching abroad in France, which inspired her to pursue further studies and ultimately led to her current position.
Velvet Pearson finds immense reward in working with community college students, witnessing their learning journey, and celebrating their successes in achieving their goals. Passionionate about her field, Pearson envisions her dream class revolving around Science Fiction. Beyond academia, she indulges in reading, writing, attending concerts, and creating mixed media art through crocheting, knitting, and sewing. If she could master any skill, it would be fluency in Japanese.
