Educational Background and Professional Experience:
Hi Del Mar Families! I am ecstatic to serve as the school counselor for Del Mar Hills Academy and Del Mar Heights School for the 2025-2026 school year! Prior to beginning my career in school counseling, I received my Bachelor's degree in Family and Human Services from University of Oregon (Go Ducks!). After graduating, I worked at a nonprofit that provided social services to individuals with disabilities. This opportunity sparked my passion for supporting kids of all abilities and led me to pursue my Master's in Counseling with a PPS (Pupil Personnel Services) credential at the University of San Diego. I am also a National Board Certified Counselor (NBCC). I look forward to a wonderful year ahead!

My philosophy centers on fostering a safe and inclusive environment for all students. I believe in empowering each child to reach their full potential by promoting social-emotional learning and providing resources for both students and families. This year, students and families can look forward to grade-level assemblies covering a wide range of social-emotional skills, classroom lessons, a weekly counseling club, parent workshops, and so much more!
When I am not at school, I love anything and everything outdoors! I enjoy hiking, yoga, pickleball, surfing, etc. I also love to travel and experience new foods, activities, and cultures!
