I am originally from Southern California and have been in the field of school social work since 2018. I am very passionate about the field of social work and can't wait to be a safe space and be an advocate for you all! Outside of school, I love running, kicks, being a mom, and sports. I'm excited to learn about you all and can't wait to hear about all the amazing things you all will accomplish! Please stop by and say hello or feel free to reach out if you ever need anything!
What's up Bobcats! I know times are challenging. I'm here to support mental health, learning, and behavior to help students succeed academically, socially, behaviorally, and emotionally during this unique time. A bit of information about me. I'm in my 6th year at South. I split my time with Grace Jordan Elementary as well.
Personally, I have a couple of kids, pound dogs and a wife. My interests are fishing, exploring the mountains in my UTV, and backpacking. Hang in there. We'll eventually get back to normal!
