Hello! My name is Juan Flores-Zamora, and I am a professor here at Long Beach City College. I believe in empowering students by engaging them in projects that build their skills for today’s industry as well as preparing them to continue to a four-year college. I have been teaching for the past ten years and have loved every year. I am also the adviser to the student chapter of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers. I previously worked in the aerospace industry for places like Northrop Grumman where I helped build satellites, and for sub-contractors who built components for companies such as Boeing and Airbus. I got my certificate in Machine Shop-CNC at Los Angeles Trade Technical College, my bachelor’s degree in Industrial Technology, and my Masters in Industrial and Technical Studies, both at California State University Los Angeles. 

In my spare time, I love to learn (currently attending USC and working on my doctorate), working out and going to Dodgers games. Fight On!
