Hi Peterson Pirates! I'm Ms. Jenna, your Wellness Coordinator! I'm looking forward to supporting you during your middle school years at Peterson! A little about me...I got my undergraduate degree from UC Santa Cruz and my Masters in Social Work from San Jose State University. I've been working with children, youth, and families in the education system for over 15 years, and couldn't imagine doing anything else. I enjoy camping, gardening, and spending time with my family.
The Wellness Center is a great place for students to take space, access their coping skills, and maybe learn some new ones! I am someone on campus who is available to check in with students who may be going through a tough time. I can support with problem solving, navigating peer and family relationships, linkage to therapy services, educate about mental health topics, listen judgement free, and much more!
Parents and Families, I am also a resource available to you too :) I can support you in understanding your pre-teen/teen better, link you and/or your family members to therapy services, teach parenting techniques, and provide mental health information and resources.

Hi Peterson, I am Ms. Cecelia, and I am excited to begin my third year with Santa Clara Unified School District, working with middle school students! I recently earned my Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Santa Clara University and love working with middle school students during such an important and exciting stage of life. I enjoy helping students navigate challenges, discover their strengths, and build confidence both inside and outside the classroom.
I grew up in Scranton, Pennsylvania and am a huge Philly sports fan. When I’m not at school, you can probably find me watching a game, exploring new coffee shops, or visiting new places.
I’m here to listen, support problem-solving, and help students and families access resources to feel their best at school. I’m looking forward to a great year with the Peterson community!
Hi, my name is Sunny! I am a social work intern completing my final year of my Master of Social Work degree at San Jose State University. I look forward to getting to know the students and families of Peterson Middle. Whether you need help navigating a difficult situation or a listening ear, I am here to support you.
A fun fact about me is I am a Bay Area Native. In my free time, I enjoy cooking recipes from all over the world and playing cozy video games.
Best,
Sunny
