Val Eurman
Advisor/ Counselor &
PD 110 Instructor

I work with students to assist them with Career Center resources. Each student that comes in is unique, but typically is seeking personal direction - I love the challenge of helping them find the right path. I also provide extra support to the Career Technical Programs and teach personal development classes focusing on career development. I am bilingual, having majored in Spanish at UCSB and studying for a year in Madrid, Spain. I worked in the realm of education abroad at UC and am a big believer in the value of studying in a foreign country. Stop by and say hello in whatever language you choose.
