About Me

Vicki Halphide manages the business and data side of CMCA while also tracking the latest developments in college admissions. Vicki earned her B.S. in Industrial Engineering from Iowa State University and moved to Southern California to begin her career working for semiconductor companies Rockwell International, Conexant Systems, and Skyworks Solutions. Vicki’s engineering responsibilities expanded into corporate business development and strategic planning, which inspired her to earn an MBA from Pepperdine University while working full-time.

Vicki now combines her technical and business experience to create processes and resources to best serve our high school families. She is dedicated to the integral use of data-driven research and structured planning to make admissions a reality for students who dream of a college experience perfectly suited to their passions and abilities.

Vicki is the proud mom of two. When she’s not working, she’s most likely fitting her household projects into a database or Powerpoint presentation, reading with her book club, traveling with friends and family, or testing a new recipe in the kitchen!
