About me: I taught bilingual (Spanish/English) kindergarten for ten years and have been a counselor in VUSD since 2001.
I love to keep learning in life and I enjoy traveling, singing, walking, gardening, and laughing!
These are my principles regarding school counseling:

  • We are all enough and worthy of kindness.

  • We can learn to notice our feelings and understand and manage them.

  • We can choose and use strategies that work for us when we are having a tough time.

  • We can have compassion for ourselves and others by listening, caring, and showing kindness.
