Eric G

Eric Garza decided to return to school to pursue a degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering while working in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic.  In addition to having a previous Associates in Business Administration, he's a lifelong musician and has been a Classical Guitarist for nearly 19 years now.  Eric has used his return to college as an opportunity to formally study Classical Guitar at Pima CC while simultaneously completing his undergraduate engineering degree.  He also has a passion for teaching.  During the school year you can find him regularly working two jobs as a math tutor with both TRIO at Sunnyside High School and with Mathnasium.  Despite being the busiest he's ever been in his life, he finds everything he's doing from STEM, Music, and teaching, to be incredibly fulfilling and is excited to see where this next chapter of his life will take him."
