Celia started in Systems and Industrial Engineering in March
of 1993,
then in July of 1997 was given the opportunity to coordinate
a new interdisciplinary program, Biomedical Engineering. She enjoyed
working with everyone at BME, which was housed at University Medical
Center. She missed working on main campus and then in August of 1999
returned to Systems and Industrial Engineering to coordinate the new
Master of Engineering Program (M.Eng) plus help with the Bachelor of Arts
in Engineering and still work closely with SIE. In 2002 Celia was
given another opportunity to help with a new undergraduate program,
Engineering Management. This new program has excelled in the
number of students. She has enjoyed helping coordinate different programs
and she has been at the University of Arizona for 14 years. She enjoys
working with both graduate and undergraduate students, faculty and staff
from all of the departments in the College of Engineering and the
university community.
Celia feels all of her students are like her kids, even graduate
students who may be older than her. She enjoys helping the students,
co-workers with anything they may need. Her proudest moment
was when she became a first time Mom in 2000. Her son is now
4 and the light of her life. He keeps her on her toes and as
he says, "I'm I your conscience", for which she replies, 'Yes'.
Her office is full of pictures and art work Ricky makes for
her. Celia and her whole family are avid Ice Cat Fans. For those
who may not know, there is ice hockey in the desert of Arizona
(UofA).
