[The] successful projects, and accomplishments were collaborative efforts,\u201d said DeMahy, who currently serves as executive director at the campus. \u201cIf I had to choose one thing, [as my legacy] it would be my connection to students.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DeMahy is retiring on March 31 after 23 years at Miami Dade College. Before coming to West, she worked at Wolfson Campus for 10 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cShe is upbeat and always optimistic with a smile on her face,\u201d said Rene Garcia, a retired MDC administrator who worked closely with DeMahy. \u201cSounds like a clich\u00e9, but she is so committed to students. She knows no limits when it comes to serving students. Nevertheless, she holds them to the highest expectations and they seem to respond to her.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DeMahy has not made concrete plans for her life after retirement, besides taking a cruise to Alaska, remodeling her home and traveling to Europe. She\u2019s also considering taking a part-time job in interior design.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt&#8217;s time for me to look for a different modality of life\u2014a different way of life, a different phase of life,\u201d DeMahy said. \u201c[I want] to continue to work at a different pace then be able to get up in the morning and buy coffee and look at my orchids.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before her time at the College, DeMahy was torn between two careers\u2014psychology and interior design.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cInterior design, color spaces, space utilization, low traffic, all that type of thing was always a passion of mine,\u201d DeMahy said. \u201cPsychology was as well, so I was always very torn.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After graduating from <a href=\"https:\/\/hialeahhigh.org\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Hialeah High School<\/span><\/a> in 1971, DeMahy earned an associate in science degree in interior design from MDC in 1974.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DeMahy later worked as a purchasing assistant for Bouterse, Perez and Fabregas Architects Planner<\/span>s, Inc., an architectural firm. She obtained price quotes for suppliers, assembled purchasing packages and built relationships with clients.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She took a break from school after graduating from MDC to get married, raise her two children and figure out what major she wanted to pursue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DeMahy eventually earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in psychology from Florida International University.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI love [psychology because] it helped me understand a lot of things in life and people, and triggers for people and individuals,\u201d DeMahy said. \u201c[It\u2019s about] moving forward\u2014how do you overcome hurdles? how do you deal with challenges?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DeMahy developed a passion for education while interning at the guidance center at the Dr. Marvin Dunn Academy for Community Education in El Portal, where she was eventually promoted to dean of students.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She worked with kids that had behavioral and attendance issues, and enjoyed helping them find solutions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Three years later, DeMahy earned a master\u2019s degree in counseling psychology from Nova Southeastern University. She completed coursework for a doctorate degree from Northeastern University, but never finished her dissertation due to family issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An internship at a senior citizen center in Miami Beach helped DeMahy realize that counseling wasn\u2019t for her. She preferred to help select clients on a long-term basis, instead of seeing multiple patients every day for 30-50 minute sessions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI liked the piece where I could help people reach their potential on a, not deep psychological clinical point of view, but more on a superficial level: finding motivation, finding what your love is,\u201d DeMahy said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s when her tenure at the College began. DeMahy started as the Student Life Director at Wolfson Campus, where she oversaw student government, campus life and clubs. In addition, she taught some psychology courses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eventually, DeMahy made the switch from Wolfson to West Campus when the late Maria \u201cToni\u201d Bilbao, who was executive director of West Campus at the time, tabbed her as director of student services and administrative services.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colleagues describe DeMahy as a perfectionist with an immense understanding of the College. They also point to her commitment to students.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMs. DeMahy is someone who has a love for the work she does with students everyday,\u201d said Veronica Gonzalez, director of advisement and career services at West Campus. \u201cShe ensures that everything she does is with the utmost excellence<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">from choosing a piece of furniture for the campus to having an interaction with a student.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Staff writer Jose Tovar contributed to this report. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ana DeMahy is a jack of all trades.\u00a0 For the last 13 years, she has overseen construction, public safety, financial budgets and student services at West Campus.\u00a0 DeMahy has watched the campus grow from an outreach center that opened its doors in 2006 with 156 students to an official campus in 2018 that enrolls 4,474 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":452,"featured_media":18328,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3,2747,2753],"tags":[35,39,744,1040],"class_list":{"0":"post-18448","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"category-west-campus","9":"category-wolfson-campus","10":"tag-wolfson-campus","11":"tag-west-campus","12":"tag-retired","13":"tag-retirement"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>West Campus\u2019 Executive Director Ana DeMahy To Retire<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"After 23 years, Ana DeMahy, who has worked at Wolfson and West campuses will retire on March 31.
