Hello!  It has been a true pleasure joining the Blue Ridge Academy Community. I will be serving students Diaz - Khan. When I am not giving my undivided attention to our students, I am exploring every corner that I can find. I love visiting many of the SoCal beaches, taking serene walks around different neighborhoods, and learning new ways to make my coffee!

A  Fun Fact: When I was in high school, my "Plan" was to study Law and Politics to become a Civil Rights Lawyer. However, my passion for education grew stronger during college and that led me to apply for my Masters of Education and then eventually a Masters in School Counseling. In my spare time I continue to learn about law and politics as it remains a passion of mine. 

My Alma Maters include: UC Riverside, Hunter College in the City of New York, and CSU Dominguez Hills.

Looking forward to working with you all! "
