About Me

I am a California and Sonoma county native. I graduated from UC Santa Barbara for my undergraduate studies, and I hold a certificate in College and Career Counseling from UC Berkeley. My career experience as a mediator and coach informs how I help families navigate the college search and application labyrinth. I have a background as a high school college and guidance counselor. I value clear communication and a step by step approach that helps keep anxiety low and the entire process more joyful.

When I am not working with my students, I enjoy participating in and coaching flatwater kayaking. I am also an avid cyclist and love taking my gravel bike out in the dirt. I live in Sonoma county with my family, therapy dog named Peeka-Boo, and many chickens.
