A few facts about your school counselor:

Hello Students and parents! This is my 6th year as one of KUSD school counselors. I started as counselor to both school sites, and the last year I have been at Spratling Middle School. My passion has always been working with students! I love what I do, and truly enjoy the interaction with students and providing services to students, parents, and our community. I am passionate about my profession as a school counselor, children's safety, developing social/emotional skills and helping all students achieve academic success.

I was raised in Atwater, Ca and graduated from Atwater High School. I realized at an early age that education was vital to my future success in life. I attended CSU Stanislaus, where I received a Bachelor's degree in Liberal Studies with a minor in Ethnic Studies. I persuade my education and finished Counselor Education Program, earning a Master's Degree and Pupil Personnel Services in May of 2015.

I have 4 beautiful children, 3 granddaughters and an amazing husband!

My hobbies consist of: Reading, working out, hiking and watching horror movies with the family!

Wishing everyone a great year!!!
