My name is Malak! I’m so happy to be here and support youth and families at Canyon for the 2025-2026 school year. I am a graduate from CSU East Bay with my Masters in Marriage & Family Therapy.
I look forward to doing my best to meet the diverse needs of the students at Canyon. Middle school can be such a challenging time for growth and change, and I’m excited to be able to support students through the transitions!
On my spare time, I enjoy embroidery, trying new ways to stay active like kickboxing and hiking, reading, and spending time with my loved ones!
