Hello,
I’m the counselor for students with the last names M-Z. I received my bachelor's degree from San
Diego State in Sociology, and my master's degree from the University of Southern California in
Education. I am a military veteran. I served four years in the US Navy and was stationed in
Norfolk, Virginia on the USS Peterson.
I grew up in New Jersey and Miami, Florida. I enjoy lifting weights, hiking, martial arts, salsa
dancing, and reading. I believe all students can be successful, and I’m here to support all
students reach their full potential. Some of my heroes are my grandparents, Thich Nhat Hanh,
and James Baldwin.
