Admissions Specialist/ Advisor
Hey y’all! My name is Dominique Silva Soares.  I was born in San Pedro, California, but was raised in Virginia. After I graduated high school I moved to Chico and earned an Associate’s Degree at Butte College. I transferred to Chico State and earned a Bachelor’s of Arts degree in Social Science with emphasis in Psychology and Child Development. After a 7-year academic break and gaining employment as a social worker I returned to Chico State and earned a Master’s of Social Work degree in 2022. I have a passion for diversity and inclusion and I’m so excited to continue my social work practice through higher education.
