Hi Santanas! This is my 4th year at Santiago and I am so excited to join the Santiago Counseling team. I graduated from University of Arizona with a degree in Psychology before completing my M.Ed. in Educational Counseling & School Counseling Credential from Azusa Pacific University. When I am not working, you can find me running and training for my next marathon or spending time with my two kiddos. I can't wait to get to know all of you!

Hi Santanas! This will be my 14th school year at Santiago.  I graduated with a BA in Sociology from CSUF before completing my Masters in Educational Counseling, School Counseling Credential, and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counseling Credential from Azusa Pacific University.  Additionally, I hold an Administrative Credential and am pursuing a Doctoral Degree in Educational Leadership, with an emphasis in Special Education.  When I am not working, I enjoy traveling and spending time with friends/family.  The best part of my job is being able to support students throughout their middle school experience.  #GetRADStayRAD
