What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values student development and offers opportunities for collaboration and growth.

I am a passionate school counselor with a strong commitment to fostering student success and well-being. With a Master's in Education in Educational Counseling, I have developed and implemented comprehensive support systems for elementary and middle school students. My experience includes conducting classroom guidance lessons, facilitating individual and group counseling sessions, and collaborating with educators to create a positive school climate.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated expertise in college and career counseling, helping students navigate their post-secondary options and achieve their academic goals. My work at Stella High Charter Academy involved maintaining detailed tracking systems and implementing evidence-based strategies to increase student persistence and college matriculation rates. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to effectively serve diverse student populations.
