Experience

Becerra brings nearly 20 years of experience in the community college system, with a strong focus on student services, leadership development, and college and career counseling. She is passionate about creating inclusive, student-centered environments and is excited to join the Norco College team, where she remains deeply committed to supporting students on their academic and personal journeys.

Most recently, Becerra served as Interim Dean of Student Support Services at Fullerton College, where she provided leadership to a wide range of programs, including Disability Support Services, EOPS, CARE, Veterans, CalWORKs, FYSI, Health Services, Basic Needs, Student Life, Student Conduct, and Title IX. Prior to this role, she served as Interim Dean of Student Life at Norco College, overseeing similar student-facing programs such as the Basic Needs Center, College Corps, Athletics, Health Services, Student Government, Commencement, and Student Conduct. In both roles, her work centered around fostering a sense of belonging and ensuring that students received the wraparound support they needed to thrive.

Earlier in her career, Becerra spent five years as Director of Academic Talent Search at Santa Ana College, leading a federal TRiO program that served nearly 800 middle and high school students from the Santa Ana Unified School District. She also worked as the Career Pathways Manager at Long Beach City College, where she helped launch grant-funded initiatives focused on Allied Health careers and managed the Career Center to connect students with real-world job experiences, internships, and career exploration opportunities.

Her background also includes extensive experience in student conduct and student life. She served as Associate Dean of Student Development at Santa Ana College and as Director of Student Conduct and Student Life at Long Beach City College—both roles where she supported student leadership, coordinated campus events, and upheld community standards while helping students grow personally and professionally.

Becerra holds a Bachelor of Arts in Communications and a Master of Arts in Education with an emphasis in Counseling, both from California State University, Dominguez Hills. She remains inspired by the resilience and determination of students and is dedicated to creating opportunities that help them grow, succeed, and reach their goals.
