Panel of Experts

Panel of Experts

Allyson Tintiangco-Cubales, PhD

SFSU Associate Professor,

Asian American Studies Department


AAS MA Program Coordinator

Pin@y Educational Partnerships (PEP), Founder and Director

Allyson was my first pick in my panel of experts because she is the founder and current head director of PEP which gives me direct connection with PEP rather than having a middle person in between to relay messages when I come across a challenge. She helps me grant access to schools in San Francisco, as it is sometimes hard to receive a visitors badge in public schools.  She is most of the time busy meeting with students as well as teaching; therefore she only meets by appointment only.

Maria Abigail Santos

Asian America Studies Graduate at SFSU

PEP Teacher for Longfellow Elementary

Maria is one of the PEP Teachers/Staff in Longfellow Elementary; I have chosen her for as part of my Panel, because other than the fact that Allyson is harder to make contact with. Allyson has appointed me to her as someone that I can rely on if any question that I might have when she is not available. Maria has worked for PEP for two years and I believe her experiences would provide great insights into my research.
