Hello Valley Students and Families,

I am so fortunate to work as the School Counselor for Valley.  I have been part of this amazing school community since 2009!  I was born and raised in San Diego.  I'm a wife and mother of three children. I love playing outside with my kids and taking them to the beach.  As a family we love movie nights, baseball games, and traveling to Mexico to visit our extended family.  In my spare time, I enjoy going for walks, and catching up with family and friends. 

At Valley, I'm available to provide support to students, parents, and staff.  I work closely with our Student Services Team to create a positive and successful school climate for everyone.  I believe most of you have experienced that Valley is a very special place.  We have a dedicated and committed staff, who have a passion for helping students to learn and grow.  I have created this website as a resource for our school community.  I hope that you find this information helpful.
