As an SLHS Alumni, it brings me great pleasure to come back and work with students and families in my community. I have been a high school counselor for over 15 years and enjoy helping students explore and reach their academic and personal goals. Students are welcome to come see me during drop-in hours before school, at lunch, or after school. If I am not available please do not hesitate to reach out and call or e-mail me. I look forward to working with all students and families to achieve greatness. Go Pirates! Arggg!

Welcome to San Leandro High School! This is my 22nd year as a counselor. I feel very privileged to be able to work with and help guide the students of SLHS in pursuing their college and career goals. I look forward to working with you and your student in having a wonderful year! Your student has a lot of adults at school to help him/her. In my leisure time, I like to travel, exercise (run half marathons), and spend time with my family. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions or concerns. I am just an email, phone call, and/or office visit away. My response time is usually within one to two days if not sooner!I am thrilled to be your student’s counselor! Go Pirates!

Lincoln Alternative Education Center and Lighthouse Independent StudyHello Eagles! As your Counselor, I take a holistic approach to assure that our students at Lincoln are dedicated and motivated to recover any credit deficiencies. I practice a solution-based counseling style and strive to provide students with direction and detailed instruction on how to overcome their struggles in education. I offer a “open door” policy which will allow students to seek my services whenever needed. My experience is diverse, just as the populations I have had the opportunity to work with. I have worked with students of diverse cultural groups, and ages in public higher education, alternative and traditional high schools, and internship/practicum settings. If you have any specific questions, feel free to contact me.
