About Me
Beyond my professional pursuits, I find joy in running, hiking, traveling, and trying new workout classes like pilates, yoga, and cycling. I advocate for centering student voices and fostering a sense of community. My work in school counseling is grounded in a commitment to holistic student support, where I strive to nurture students' emotional, academic, and social growth. Drawing on my experiences as an advocate and educator, I am passionate about creating spaces that empower students to thrive.
My Why
My Why
I believe that every student deserves the support, guidance, and resources necessary to navigate their personal and educational journey and successfully achieve their personal, academic, and post-secondary goals. Growing up as a first-generation Latina navigating the education system alone, I witnessed firsthand the obstacles that can make education feel overwhelming and inaccessible. I know the power of mentorship and the impact it has on helping students see their potential and understand that they can achieve their goals.
Counseling Philosophy
My practice is holistic, supporting students in their academic, socio-emotional, and college and career development. I recognize that students are impacted by factors outside of school, and I aim to provide a comprehensive approach that addresses the whole student. By fostering trusting relationships, I meet students where they are, understanding that each individual’s journey is unique and unfolds at their own pace. I am passionate about connecting with students on a personal level, ensuring they feel seen, heard, and empowered to be their true selves and succeed.
Collaboration is key to my work. I actively build bridges between students, families, educators, and community stakeholders to create a supportive network that offers resources and opportunities. Together, we can ensure that students have the tools to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
My mission is to give back to the community by supporting students' holistic development and helping them navigate the complexities of school and life. I strive to create a space where students feel empowered to pursue their dreams and make a positive impact on their communities.
