I coordinate the services we provide, supervise Support Center staff, and collaborate with other school staff and community partner organizations.  Above all, my goal is to create a safe space where everyone feels heard, understood and valued.   I work directly with many students and parents/guardians -- the favorite part of my job!   Every day is a new opportunity for me to make meaningful interpersonal connections and work together to achieve positive change.

Outside of work, I love to hike and explore nature, ride my bike, read fiction, and spend time with my family and friends.

Hi! I am the School Social Worker. I provide social, emotional and mental health support to students. This means I help students develop the skills and strategies needed to manage their emotions, build healthy connections, and navigate the challenges they encounter both in and out of school. Whether it is one-on-one counseling or group sessions, my goal is to empower students with the coping skills and resilience they need to thrive in school and in their personal well-being. I also work closely with caregivers/guardians. I offer guidance, linkage to community resources, and most importantly, work collaboratively to improve the social-emotional challenges their children may be facing.

I have been a nurse for 14 years. Six of those years were spent at the old Sutter Memorial Hospital in the pediatric department. They always gave me the teenaged patients because I connected with them. I loved my time there and learned so much but the reason I got into nursing was to promote wellness and work with people to prevent disease. From chatting with students about life choices to finding resources for families and our school community, high school nursing is my jam.

In my free time I love to be outside chatting with friends and family, hiking through the mountains and seeing live music. I also really like to cook simple, healthy meals while singing and dancing in my kitchen.

Youth and Family Mental Health Advocate

Being a mental health advocate means that I am here to bridge that gap between education and mental health services. I help families and students gain access to outside resources, communicate with school staff, develop academic support plans, and provide social and emotional support for students. I strive to connect with the Johnson community and equip both students and families with the tools they need to thrive.

Outside of the office you will often find me hiking and exploring, going to the drive-in movie theater, and spending time with my friends and family. 

Days at Hiram Johnson

Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Health Aide

Hello, My name is Erma Freeman, I have been a Health Aide for SCUSD since 2001.  I found my home at Hiram Johnson in January 2023 in the Student Support Center. I provide health services for students with medical needs in the Special Education community as well as serve students who are just not feeling well. 

In my free time I enjoy laughing, grilling, and playing pool with my family and close friends, fishing at the river, and watching a good movie. Fun Fact about me is that I bungee-jumped off the Stratosphere in Las Vegas which is a 829 foot fall.

Days at Hiram Johnson

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, 8:15 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. and on Thursday, 8:15 a.m. to 3:15 p.m.

Hi there! My name is Nicole, I am a graduate social work intern. My goal at Hiram Johnson is to provide a safe space for students to explore their feelings. High school can be a hard time in anyone's life, and I want to normalize that it's okay to not be okay. It's okay to ask for help and it's okay to express how you feel to a trusted person. I strive to offer students empathy, understanding, and acceptance.

In my free time, I love to boulder, make stained glass art, learn how to play the harp, and spend time with my family and dogs. 

Days at Hiram Johnson

Thursday and Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Hello, my name is Amanda Beltran and I currently attend Sacramento State to obtain my Master's degree in Social Work. I am originally from New York and moved to Stockton California at the end of my 8th grade year. I enjoy gardening, and have built garden beds not only in my own home, but at the school sites I work in with Twin Rivers Unified. I have worked with my non-profit organization for 10 years providing and supervising Expanded Learning Sevices to Elementary and Middle School students, and have a passion for working with the youth. I aspire to pursue a career in School Social work with the hopes of continuing to serve children and families in my community. Fun fact about me, I just visited Disneyland for the first time ever and am now a self labeled Disney adult.

I am excited to be here at Hiram Johnson. I look forward in getting to know the school community served by Sacramento City School District. 

Days at Hiram Johnson

Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. And Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
