Meet Your Instructor:  

I attended Santa Ana College right after high school. My educational journey continued at Cal State Fullerton, since my Mother at that time said no to being a chef. After Cal State Fullerton I decided to purse a career in social work. I attended USC and got my Masters in Social Work. I did a year as a elementary school Counselor, followed by working at a non-profit with individuals on welfare. I recently moved to San Diego to start another adventure. I am currently working at a Crisis Center (which I love). I look forward to get to know each and everyone of you. If you have an questions please contact me in my canvas inbox.
