I’m so excited to support you!
My passion for career exploration and education is rooted in a deep desire to help others reach their fullest potential. Navigating higher education and finding the right career path can feel like a maze—and I know that firsthand.
When I started community college, I was overwhelmed by the pressure of making life-changing decisions. My ultimate goal was simple: to find a career I felt passionate about. When I transferred to UCSB and the world shut down during COVID-19, I witnessed how easily people’s passions could dim. That’s when I discovered mine; helping others reignite their sense of purpose.
I earned my Bachelor’s in Sociology with a Minor in Education from UCSB, then went on to receive my Master’s in Educational Counseling from USC. Through my work in student services, I’ve had the privilege of guiding individuals through moments of uncertainty, growth, and transformation.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, unsure, or just need a place to start, start here! I’m here to help you find clarity, confidence, and a career that feels truly you.
