I am a two-time Cal Poly graduate, having completed my B.S. in Psychology and M.S. in Higher Education Counseling & Student Affairs here. I have also had the absolute pleasure of working with our Upward Bound students since 2016. It has been amazing to see what our students accomplish each year and the different directions that they choose to go college and career-wise. I love the work we do, the population that we serve, and most importantly, helping our students achieve their goals! I am originally from San Jose, but love being so close to the beach here in San Luis Obispo - though I do miss attending San Jose Sharks hockey games.

I am a Cal Poly graduate, with a Bachelors of Art in Spanish & a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. I was raised in Santa Maria and have been in the central coast my whole life. I'm very excited to continue my work with Upward Bound as I'm also A UB alumni myself. Working for the program has been very rewarding in seeing what students decide to do after High School and providing that support to them. I enjoy exploring National Parks and next on my list is Zion National Park!
