I earned my undergraduate degree in Political Science from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and graduated with honors from Pepperdine University with a masters degree in psychology. I am a Licensed Educational Psychologist and served with over ten years of experience working within a large public school district.

Throughout my career, I have served as a school psychologist, taught courses at local community colleges, worked as a learning specialist in higher education, and instructed college-level courses focused on study skills and academic success. These experiences inform my Educational Therapy approach, which is individualized, strengths-based, and rooted in understanding how each student learns best. My mission is to help students build confidence, develop effective learning strategies, and become independent, self-advocating learners who feel empowered in their academic journey.
