Anna Staats-Welch earned her Baccalaureate in Literature at
Queens College New York where liberal arts students were urged to take
real-world courses in math and physical sciences. Her exposure to science
led to a succession of jobs as writer, editor and publications manager in
the aerospace industry. To offset this emphasis on technical matters, she
earned a Master's degree in English at New York University. In-house
training sessions led to outside teaching assignments. She has worked at
LACC since 1964 and has worked full-time at CSULA. She has conducted
communication seminars for Kaiser Permanente and the LA Branch of the
American Library Association. Her interests include theatre, ballet,
wild flowers, alternative medical therapies, and nutrition for pets. |
