Lydia Deems I have been a Career Counselor at SBCC since 1991 and still love my job. It is a privilege to get to work with students and potential students needing clarity, information or help setting goals. I earned my BA degree in Psychology from UC San Diego and an MA in Education, with a Counseling Psychology emphasis from UC Santa Barbara. Aside from my job, I love spending time outdoors in nature. I try to take a walk on the beach or on a trail in the foothills almost every day. I love to garden and have over 30 fruit trees and lots of deer, gophers, and squirrels. |
