Hello Gecko family! I’m so excited to introduce myself to you all! I got my Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from CSULB and my Master’s in Social Work from CSUDH. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been working as a School Social Worker for the past six years. Supporting students’ social and emotional well-being is something I truly care about, and I’m so happy to be joining the Garden Park ASPIRE team!
Fun fact: I’m a big fan of spicy food, love to dance, enjoy sports, and I’m always up for an adventure around the world!

Hello Garden Park Geckos! I am excited to tell you a little bit about myself. I received my bachelors in Psychology from CSUDH, and my Masters/Doctorate in Psychology from ABSI. This will be my fourth year working in GGUSD as a Mental Health Specialist. My passion is helping each student explore, identify, and thrive in their own strengths and abilities. I am honored to be a part of the Garden Park ASPIRE team.
I enjoy when I have the time playing my bass guitar, painting/drawing, family time, watching anime, and Zen Time.
