Pardees Fassihi

Hello! My name is Pardees Fassihi and I am a part-time counselor at Oxnard College. I am passionate about helping community college students succeed because I was once a community college student. I attended Pierce College, received my associate’s degree, and transferred to UCLA in economics. While mentoring incoming transfer students at UCLA, I realized I wanted to make a career out of it. After graduating, I worked in the higher education field while I received my master’s degree in counseling from California Lutheran University just down the road. I am especially passionate about transfer student outcomes, and I love to see a transfer success story! My counseling philosophy is to help students holistically and offer a supportive positive environment for them to grow in. I am inspired every day by Oxnard College students, and I am overjoyed when I witness what they persevere through to receive their degrees.
