I take a creative and purposeful approach to helping students explore their interests, clarify goals, and design pathways that align with their strengths and aspirations—while maintaining balance and reducing stress.

​

Grounded in a holistic, student-centered philosophy, my work encourages exploration, curiosity, and growth. I guide students to build resilience, develop confidence, and embrace challenges as opportunities for learning and self-discovery.

​

Passion projects, including original research, community-based initiatives, and career path exploration, are central to my approach. These experiences inspire curiosity and empower students to tell authentic stories that reflect their individuality and purpose.

​

With over 25 years of combined experience as a college professor, University of California admissions specialist, and college access counselor, I bring a holistic perspective on higher education and the pathways that connect students to meaningful academic and personal growth. I hold a B.A. in Communication Studies from Westmont College, an M.A. in Education from California State University, and a Certificate in College Counseling from the University of California, San Diego.

 

My goal is to transform the college process into a journey of clarity, confidence, and authentic self-discovery—helping each student find their own bright pathway forward.
