Employee Bio

At the age of thirty with the encouragement and support of my husband, I jumped back into school with the goal of becoming a nurse specializing in the care of babies, choosing Edmonds CC. to continue my academic journey. My path changed forever when I took a required chemistry class from Mary O’Brien who rekindled and nurtured my interest in chemistry and inspired me to teach, eventually becoming a mentor that I am lucky to have as a friend to this day.
I have been teaching college chemistry at Shoreline CC since 1996 and am so thankful for my job. I love seeing students grasp concepts they had thought beyond their understanding and I am lucky to be able to say that I get up every morning thrilled to go to work.

Employee Bio

Astrid Perez was born and raised in Puerto Rico. She transferred to the UWA, completed a B.S. in Chemistry, and later returned to earn an M.S., and a Ph.D. She has been teaching at the Community College setting now for over 25 yrs., allowing her to interact with her students, encouraging them, and celebrating in their successes.

As she has lived through her share of challenges, such as having English as a second language, having a disability, having to take care of children while in school, and then being a single parent, to name a few, she can relate to many of the difficulties her students face. After having been treated differently for how she looks or sounds, Astrid wants her students to know that they are always welcomed at her office, free of judgement; she’s proud to say her office is a safe place.
