Welcome to Pima Voices, a podcast brought to you by Pima Foundation, where we celebrate, explore, and connect with the vibrant Tucson community. This podcast is more than just conversations—it’s a platform for sharing the stories, experiences, and passions that make Pima Community College a cornerstone of education, opportunity, and connection.
Through each episode, we’ve had the honor of highlighting the incredible individuals who breathe life into our college and community: the Foundation team and board members guiding our shared mission, faculty members shaping futures, alumni reflecting on their journeys, administrators pushing boundaries, donors fueling dreams, and community partners who believe in student success. Together, they reveal why Pima is more than just an institution—it’s a family, a foundation, and a force for good.
For me, hosting Pima Voices has been an adventure—an opportunity to step outside my comfort zone and embrace something entirely new. While I love telling stories through written words and being behind the camera taking photos at events and posting on social media, podcasting invited me to bring those stories to life in a different way and for once step in front of the camera. This journey has taught me so much about listening, connecting, and letting the community’s voices shine.
A huge thank you goes out to PCCTV for providing the perfect space to make this process as seamless as possible. Their support behind the scenes has been invaluable, and the podcast wouldn’t be what it is without their expertise.
I’m also endlessly grateful to my guests, who have taken the time to share their stories, insights, and perspectives with me. Their openness and authenticity have turned Pima Voices into what it is today—a heartbeat of our diverse community. And, of course, a big shoutout to my incredible guest hosts, Zulma Tapia and Krissy King, for their energy, perspectives, and willingness to join me in this creative journey.
Pima Voices is more than just a podcast; it’s a celebration of our community, a reminder of why we do what we do, and a space where every voice matters. Whether you’re tuning in for inspiration, insight, or simply a great story, I hope you’ll join me as we continue exploring what makes Pima Community College so extraordinary.
So, here’s to connection, growth, and the many stories waiting to be told. Thank you for being a part of this journey—and remember, the best is yet to come!
