Hello! I am a school counselor intern who has a passion for education and helping students academically, emotionally, and socially. This e-portfolio sites will help showcase my GCU graduate program and internships. Also, it will showcase my interests and counseling experiences.
Through my life experinces I decided to become a school counselor to give back to the community. As an immigrant and first generation student I have put my self in a mission for helping those students who have encountered obstacles and struggles in their lives to finish their education. Every child should not have any barriers that impede their education.
I am an immigrant who was brought by my parents for a better future and opportunities. I am from a small city in Aguascalientes, Mexico, raised by my parents who did not have the opportunity to get educated; they had to work to help their families. Education was not an option. I was an immigrant in the United States who graduated from High School but could not go to college due to my status. Life happened I got married and had three beautiful children who had dreams on hold, and after fifteen years I returned as a citizen to finish my Bachelors in Spanish from CSULB with a 4.0. Then enrolled at GCU for my Masters in School Counseling and loving my job helping students academically, mentally, and socially. Dreams do come true but I had to put in the work. With my life experinces, I thought about those students regardless of sexual orientation, minorities, LGBTQ+, low-income, immigrants, and gender identity to provide a safe environment. With that said, This is why I want to support all students who face learning obstacles like, anxiety, depression, peer pressure, self-insecurities, and want to encourage them to continue fighitng for themeselves.
Beyond my academics, I love Power-lift, Crossfit, running, hiking, reading, cooking and enjoying my dogs, Kobe & Riley, and two cats Oreo & Panda. I love making sure my children Alexandra, Eric and Victoria are kids who have the opportunity to fullfill their dreams like other children, but they have to put in the work. I want to enjoy the rest of my biggest supporter and cheerleader, my husband Carlos.
