Hi! I’m a proud San Diego native—born, raised, and forever spoiled by perfect weather and tacos. I am also a school psychologist with 15 years of experience in working with the wonderful and curious minds of students. I am excited to proudly serve at HTHM, where every day is an adventure in creativity and collaboration.

Despite my disdain for desk rows, pop quizzes, and research papers, I made it through college—earning my degrees from UC Santa Barbara and Chapman University.

I’m passionate about supporting students’ mental health, helping them navigate challenges, and being a steady, supportive presence when things get tough. Whether I’m developing support plans, collaborating with staff and families, cheering students on, celebrating victories, or simply lending a listening ear, I genuinely love what I do.

Outside of school, I’m a firm believer in beach therapy, spontaneous travel (or daydreaming about it), window shopping as a sport, and spending time outdoors with my family—where we hike, picnic, and pretend we’re nature experts (until someone shows me a bug).

I feel lucky to do what I do—and to do it in a place where learning looks like real life. Working with students and their families keeps me grounded, inspired, and laughing every day—and after 15 years, I still feel like I have the best job in the world.
