A typical day in the School Office is very busy for Mrs. Patricia Dominguez. As the Administrative Assistant for the School Office, Mrs. Dominguez keeps busy tracking student attendance, providing support to the middle school principals, assisting parents and students, and covering the reception desk. Relatively new to St. Serra as a staff member (she was hired only eight short months ago), Mrs. Dominguez appreciates the hustle-and-bustle nature of her job. What does she enjoy most about her role? “I get to work with the parents and middle school students,” she shares. “Also, I…[provide] support for Mrs. Radzai and Mrs. Stokes.”

Mrs. Dominguez was born in Lima, Peru, and came to California when she was just six-years-old. She attended elementary school at Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Habra, and graduated from Santa Margarita Catholic High School as a member of their second graduating class of 1992. She went on to study Communications at California State University, Fullerton, where she earned her degree. She then worked in the marketing department for a financial services company, prior to getting married. When she and her husband welcomed their daughter into the world, she took time away from work to be at home with her new baby girl.

Mrs. Dominguez and her husband have been married for thirteen years. Their daughter is currently a fifth grade student at St. Serra. The family of three have an adopted pit-bull/Labrador mix named Sonny, who they refer to as their “big puppy.” On weekends they enjoy spending time relaxing at home or visiting with family. They particularly love traveling and trying out new restaurants.

As Mrs. Dominguez can tell you, it's never boring in middle school! She is currently working on getting the sixth and seventh grade students ready for their trip to Pali Camp. She is also assisting with the preparations for the eighth grade trip to Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia, and the eighth grade graduation events.
