Silicon Valley Career Technical Education

Lorraine Meza has 20 years of experience in the medical field. She graduated with a 4.0 GPA from Concorde Career College’s Medical Assistant program and later attended Chaffey College in Southern California to study RN prerequisites before moving to Northern California to work in pain management. Her background includes regenerative medicine and pain management surgery, where she trained in assisting with spinal epidurals, bone marrow aspirations, radiofrequency ablations, and platelet-rich plasma injections. As a lead Medical Assistant, she collaborated with doctors, RNs, X-ray technicians, and PAs in specialized treatment modalities. Inspired by SVCTE’s mission, Meza discovered her passion for teaching and now helps students pursue careers in healthcare. She finds it incredibly rewarding to guide future medical professionals. In her free time, she enjoys roller skating, biking, and family vacations with her husband and four children.

 

Why do you teach Career and Technical Education?

I like teaching CTE because I want to be a part of our students' future and the trade they want to learn, specifically nursing.
