Counselor/6th Grade Learning Director
My path to becoming a proud Hughes Owl started about 20 years ago when I graduated Long Beach State with a Bachelor’s Degree in the Arts. With no clear path for the future, I began traveling extensively and working in schools whenever I returned home.
It wasn’t long before I realized that helping young students grow and develop was something that I was meant to do.
I went back to Long Beach State and got a Master’s Degree in School Counseling, and back to school for a third time to obtain my Administrative Credential from Cal State Dominguez Hills.
Now in my 18th year of middle school counseling, I still wake up each morning, excited to help young students navigate those rough, adolescent waters.
I am blessed to be a Hughes Owl, and welcome our new students and families who join us in our pursuits of excellence and achievement.

Intervention Counselor
My experience in education spans over 14 years in Long Beach Unified School District. I have worked at all levels K-12 and in the administrative offices. I attended Cerritos Community College, California State University, Dominguez Hills and the University of Southern California where I earned my Master’s Degree in School Counseling.
As a School Counselor, it is important to me that you are successful and I am here to support your academic and social/emotional needs. I have tons of resources and am excited to help you on your middle school journey.
Outside of school, I love to spend time with my husband, daughter and our two dogs. I enjoy reading, watching movies and crafting.
I am excited to work with you! Please feel free to stop by my office and say hello. Let’s have a great school year together!
