She has over 32 years of experience at the community college level in California. Since  2013, Steinback has served as MVC's vice president of Academic Affairs. In this role, she oversees the planning and administering of instructional programs as well as the oversight of the College's master plan, strategic goals, program review, and accountability for areas when it comes to accreditation.

Steinback  began her teaching career as an adjunct instructor at Mt. San Jacinto College. After nearly 15 years as an instructor, Steinback launched her management career when she was selected as Mt.

Steinback has a background in developing program and economic development opportunities, such as the Green Economy program Cuyamaca developed under her leadership. She was a statewide committee member for the development of the Associate Degree Transfer program, which has become a leading transfer lifeline for students to CSU institutions.

As a first generation college student I know firsthand how transformative community colleges can be in the lives of students and to the social and economic development of our communities, such as the communities Moreno Valley College serves."
