After graduating from Fresno State in 2019 with a Bachelor's degree in Social Work, I pursued further education at National University, where I obtained my Master's degree in Social Work, Advanced Standing, in 2023. During my graduate studies, I completed an enriching internship at Toribio Psychological Services, gaining valuable hands-on experience in the field.

 

My passion for social work dates back to my high school years, and I've been dedicated to making a positive impact ever since. I began my professional journey as a Head Start Social Work Advocate III with the Community Action Partnership of Madera County, where I also completed my undergraduate internship. Additionally, I've worked as a Behavioral Technician at One Piece at a Time Development Center, providing support to children on the Autism Spectrum, and as an After School Support Professional at Roeding Elementary School, assisting children from Kindergarten through Fifth Grade.

 

Currently, I am a Registered Associate Clinical Social Worker, aspiring to achieve licensure as a Clinical Social Worker in the future. Beyond my professional pursuits, I find joy in spending quality time with my family, indulging in reading, taking leisurely walks, and immersing myself in music.
