Hello Turtle Rock students and families! I'm excited to be one of your Elementary Resource Counseling Specialists. Prior to joining Turtle Rock, I worked as a Project Success Specialist in a high school setting within IUSD. I graduated with a B.S. in Child and Adolescent Development with a Psychology minor from California State University, Fullerton, and a Master’s in Educational Counseling with a Pupil Personnel Services Credential from Concordia University, Irvine. When I’m not at work, I enjoy traveling and spending time with my family.

What is it like to work with an ERC?
When we meet, we are here to listen! Our meetings are a judgment-free zone and we will always disclose confidentiality. Students can feel safe to discuss any topics from friendships to anxiety. In our meetings, we will spend time talking, playing games, reading, watching videos, practicing mindfulness and relaxation, or working on school goals.
We are also Resource Specialists for the entire Turtle Rock community. We can provide linkage to outside mental health providers and additional IUSD resources.
