Alumni Spotlight
Claudia Sandoval has never been afraid to step outside of her comfort zone. When most of her friends at Sweetwater High School were heading to Southwestern College after graduation, she opted for Grossmont College. And when the accomplished cook whips up a traditional Mexican dish, she's not afraid to experiment with the ingredients.
That trait helped the Grossmont College graduate (Class of 2010) claim the title to the recent "MasterChef" Season 6 competition.
