Prior to that, I spent almost 5 years teaching and living in Seoul, Korea, where I became interested in working with foreign or international students. My educational background is in biology and art history, but I enjoy working with international students here at Cypress, assisting them with their pursuit of higher education in the United States, and witnessing their successes in transferring to universities or obtaining their degrees here to enrich their professional careers back home. I enjoy hiking, travelling, baking and reading. Gina Marrocco, Administrative Assistant After graduating from Cypress High School, I attended Cypress College. I completed an Associate Degree in Business Administration. While attending Cypress College, I worked part-time in the Business Computer Lab. My Computer Information Systems Professor, Donna Woo, was responsible for the lab. I kept in contact with Professor Woo and my Academic Counselor, Don Tyrell after graduating. They had such an impact on my life! I was hired at Cypress College in 2001, for an Administrative Assistant position in the Center for Intercultural Understanding.
