Meet the New Career Coordinator

  • Introducing Our New Aragon Career Coordinator - Queenie Hua (Mrs. Queenie)
     
    As the Career Coordinator, Mrs. Queenie Hua serves as the conduit between the demand of the business world and the supply of Aragon students looking to put the knowledge acquired in the classrooms and gain some indelible work experience.  She plays the role of student-advocate to the business community while at the same time works with students to aid in the development of the important skill sets that are necessary to build a solid foundation to a career path, and help guide them in determining their interests and abilities.  For the past 25+ years, Mrs. Hua has spent extensive time working in both the education and private sectors. Prior to joining the Aragon family, she was an educator with the San Mateo Foster City School District for 10 years and previously had careers at various financial services institutions, including Goldman Sachs, Accel Partners, Dodge & Cox and Pricewaterhous eCoopers.  While in the private sector, Mrs. Hua had previously held some professional licenses including Certified Public Accountant, NASD Series 63 Certification, and Regulatory and Compliance Professional Certification with the NASD Institute-Wharton Program.  She obtained her bachelor of science degree from U.C. Berkeley.  Go Bears!
