This is my first year at El Rancho as our school psychologist, and I am very much looking forward to working with our students and my fellow colleagues! I was born and raised in Southern California and can’t imagine being anywhere else. I grew up in Newbury Park, and I graduated from UC Santa Barbara (Go Gauchos!) with my BA in Psychology and Education. I went on to complete my MA in Educational Psychology and PPS Credential in School Psychology at CSU Long Beach. I also serve on the board for the Orange County Association of School Psychologists. I take a great deal of pride in my work and love what I do. My friends and family are absolutely everything to me, so I spend all of my spare time with them. I also love being a foodie, dance, Pilates, being at the beach, have quite the eclectic taste in music, and enjoy reading books before the movies come out.
