I am truly honored to serve as the School Counselor at Valley. I have been part of this incredible school community since 2009. I was born and raised in San Diego, and I am a proud wife and mother of three wonderful children. As a family, we enjoy spending time outdoors, going to the beach, having movie nights, attending baseball games, and traveling to Mexico to visit our extended family. In my spare time, I enjoy going for walks and connecting with family and friends.
At Valley, I am here to support students, parents, and staff. I work closely with our Student Services Team to help foster a positive and successful school environment for all. Many of you have experienced firsthand that Valley is a truly special place. Our dedicated staff is deeply committed to helping every student learn, grow, and thrive.
I created this website as a resource for our school community, and I hope you find the information helpful and supportive.
