What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration and supports student growth, with opportunities for professional development.

I am an experienced educator and counselor with over 19 years in the educational field, primarily serving Fresno and Madera County. My passion lies in providing supportive services to students, helping them navigate social, emotional, and academic challenges. I pride myself on my ability to work effectively with diverse cultural and socio-economic groups, advocating for students while promoting their self-advocacy.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including Positive Behavioral Intervention & Support Coordinator and Student Advocate Counselor. I have successfully counseled individuals and small groups, focusing on increasing academic achievement and social/emotional wellness. My collaborative approach involves working closely with staff and parents to address behavioral, social, and academic concerns, ensuring that every student receives the support they need to thrive.
