What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a school counseling role where I can deliver trauma-informed, culturally responsive support, strengthen attendance and academic persistence, and partner with families and staff to advance equity and student wellbeing.

I’m a bilingual school counselor (PPS, CWA) with graduate-level training and hands-on experience supporting students across K–12, community college, and university settings. I help learners stabilize, reconnect, and succeed through trauma-informed, culturally responsive counseling that’s grounded in confidentiality, ethics, and whole-child development.

Across school and community-based programs, I deliver individual and group counseling, crisis response, and attendance interventions, while partnering with families, teachers, SARB teams, and Child Welfare & Attendance to build and monitor targeted support plans. I also support academic progress through advising, transcript and graduation requirement review, and guided pathways like TAG/ADT to remove barriers to enrollment and persistence.

In roles such as Transfer Center Assistant and Student Program Advisor, I’ve strengthened student access through workshops, college fairs, outreach, and data-informed program evaluation. Whether facilitating small-group interventions for chronically absent students or coordinating case study analyses to recommend next steps, I’m driven by equity, student access, and measurable growth.
