Meet our Team

     Carol J. Millenson, Operations Manager

I have been with Valencia Community College since September, 1998. I am the Operations Manager, Continuing Education for Health Professions, under Valencia 's Division of Health Sciences. My work includes collaboratively developing and managing the delivery of continuing education and specialized programs for a variety of health care fields.

I hold a Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Counseling from Stetson University and a Bachelors Degree in Sociology and Education from Eastern Nazarene College . My specialized training includes the CAPT Qualified Administrator for the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator© and the Organizational Team and Culture Indicator©. I am also a certified facilitator for Development Dimensions, International.

My career spans three industries including bank data processing management, family counseling, and education. Prior to joining Valencia in September 1998, I served for five years as Director of Patient and Family Services in Hospice care and served clients in private practice counseling. I came to Valencia with a broad health care perspective, having spent several years in medical settings. Education and training are common threads throughout my 30 years of professional experience.

On a personal note, I have recently "launched" my twenty three year old son Clay who lives in New Smyrna Beach.  I live with my sweet black lab, Abby. I enjoy reading, writing, gardening, nurturing friendships, and walking on our beautiful Volusia County beaches.

     Kim de Zavala,Training Support Specialist 

As Training Support Specialist for Continuing Education for Health Professions, I assist the Operations Manager, instructors and students in all the health professions. Our courses are geared toward licensed professionals maintaining their licensure renewal and students seeking licensure in the professional health field. I ensure that students are appropriately registered, classes are properly scheduled, instructors are up to date with their assignments, and the classrooms are equipped with presentation materials and handouts for an efficent class. Upon completion of the courses, I ensure students receive their certificates and their credits are properly reported to regulatory agencies.

I have a B.A. degree in English with a Journalism minor. Prior to my current position, I worked from home while raising my two children. I assisted a business management consultant to aid clients in reducing turnover in the workforce, coaching their staff for growth and development, and coaching presenters for positive outcomes. I also aided my employer in preparing his book for publication. Before raising my family, I was a sales and marketing assistant for a computer accessories company, marketing their products to top customers like Sam's Club, Wal-Mart and Office Depot. I designed company brochures, assisted the national sales team, and managed office personnel with ordering processes.

Originally from New Jersey , I now reside in Orlando with my husband and three children. Outside of Valencia I am usually chaffeuring my children from their many organized activities or volunteering in their school. I also enjoy reading, sports, scrapbooking and traveling.
