My goal is to become a school psychologist to work beside students with mental or physical restrictions and help them reach their full potential. With my genuine love for kids I intend to do all I can to help them succeed because nothing is more rewarding than working with children.
- Outside the classroom
I enjoy going on a refreshing runs outside and practice sewing on my free time. My favorite way to spend my day is traveling to new and exciting places between LA and orange county including, hiking trails, museums, and beaches. Above everything, nothing tops coming back home to spend time with my precious family and sassy pug.
