I have been a counselor in the Garden Grove Unified School district for over 8 years. I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Redlands as a Psychology major with a minor in Business Administration and Race and Ethnic Studies. I later completed my Masters in Educational Counseling with a PPS Credential at Chapman University.
School counseling is my passion. I love my job and I love working with students, families and teachers. I take great pride in working as part of a collaborative team of counselors, teachers, administration, etc to ensure the success of each student, both educationally and socially.
On a personal note, I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter. We enjoy visiting farmers markets, hanging out at local parks, camping and fishing, watching sports and watching Top Chef.
