I received my Bachelor's degree from UCLA and competed as a Division I Track & Field athlete.  I received my Masters degree in Counseling from San Francisco State University.

I have 12.5 years of experience in Higher Education working as a Career Counselor for USF & Stanford University, Academic Success Coordinator at Southwestern University, and as a Success Coach for ACC for the past 1.5 years

I am a mom to 3 kids and enjoy watching their sporting activities and keeping the family outdoors via hiking, camping, and swimming around Austin.  I enjoy trying new baking recipes and attending anything in the performing arts, especially live dance performances.

I enjoy drawing on my professional and personal experiences in the Success Coach role to help ACC students reach their academic and career goals through holistic advising and connection to campus and community support!

I was born in Mexico but grew up in South Texas. I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Texas - Rio Grande Valley and a Master's degree in Forensic Psychology from California Baptist University. 

I have a great deal of experience serving adults who are living with mental illness, having worked at Integral Care, which is Travis County's authority on Mental Health and Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. Recently, I was working for the Department of Family and Protective Services, where I offered support to teenagers and adults in overcoming mental health challenges and community obstacles. 

I am excited to be a part of the ACC family and am most excited to provide students with the assistance they need to be successful. As a Success Coach, I am committed to helping students through their academic and personal challenges by advocating for them as well as providing resources and mentoring.

I am enthusiastic about working with students in higher education. As a Success Coach, you will benefit from my 25+ years of experience in the areas of undergraduate admissions, career services, dean of students, and a number of other areas. 

I earned my Bachelor of Business Administration in Management and Master of Arts in Communication Studies at Texas State University.

My career has mostly been with students in 4-year universities in Texas in career services, and my passion is to help connect classroom learning to career outcomes. As a first-generation college student, I learned many ways not to do something. I started higher ed at community college with dual credit, and the experience affirmed that I could reach for my career goals.

My goal as your success coach is to be a resource and guide on your self-defined journey of success. Success can be both a destination and a process. I hope that you will agree that we can work together.

I enjoy trying lots of new things and I change hobbies based on my interest at the time. My current interests include reading, singing, sewing, and consuming all kinds of media.
