I feel lucky to work with this amazing community of staff, students and families. As a half-time counselor for each school, I work one-on-one with students who need extra support, run small groups, and teach classroom lessons on problem solving and SEL (social-emotional learning). I serve all students at the school and any student can contact me to check-in as needed. Feel free to contact me by email with any questions or concerns you have about your student!
Journey of learning with Everyone who comes to my classroom. We will Overcome challenges and Never give up until this world Gets better because of you and me!
Education: MEd San Jose State University / BA Hankuk University of Foreign Studies
