My name is Dr. B. Saenz (pronounced signs). I joined the CHE team January 2011 and in my current position I teach, oversee
CHE’s technology, research and program assessment needs. My
personal story began in El Paso, TX where I was born and have lots of family. My immediate
family later moved to Tucson, AZ where I completed my K-12 education.
My academic journey as a first generation college student began at Pima Community College (PCC). After earning two degrees from PCC, I later made my way to to the state of Virginia
where I completed a B.A. degree in Human Services from The George Washington University. My academic journey did not stop at GW, because I love learning so much I went on to earned a Masters and PhD from Virginia Tech located in the town of Blacksburg, VA.
Consequently, I've worked in several capacities as a youth counselor,
trainer, computer tech support, instructional designer, and as a
faculty member. I enjoy listening to people’s stories, mentoring and
empowering others to rise to their potential, while providing the
necessary academic support and services. Part of my continual learning is interacting with students, I learn so much from each different generation.
When I can find the time I love traveling, walking, hiking, and biking. I have traveled 47 of the 50 states, I only need North Dakota, Hawaii, and Alaska! I have also traveled to Canada and Europe.
I recently read a sticker that said, "The meaning of life is to LIVE IT!
