It's a Pirates life for me! Hello and thank you for taking your time to learn a little bit about me. I was raised just a stone's throw from Sacramento in the countryside of Davis. After high school I studied Sociology, Social Welfare and Photography earning a Bachelor's of Arts from The University of New Mexico. I began working in private schools focused on early childhood education through early elementary grades.

Returning to California in 2000 with two little children, I began studying for a Master's of Science in Counseling with both School Counseling and Marriage, Family and Child Counseling specializations. While in Graduate school I began working in San Juan Unified School District, through the Whitehouse Counseling Center, and continued as a provider in Sacramento Children's Mental Health Services through Dignity Health for another 8 years.

My Pirate life began many years ago when I was searching for middle school options for my oldest son and learned about NP³ from other parents while on the soccer field sidelines. My oldest son graduated from NP³ High School in 2015, and my youngest son graduated in the NP³ Class of 2017.

I am so fortunate to be able to work at the same school I chose for my own children and look forward to many more years aboard this fulfilling adventure.

Hello Pirates! I was born and raised in Turlock, California. When I am not at NP3, I enjoy spending time with my family and loved ones.

I completed my Bachelor's degree in Psychology at Sacramento State in 2011. Shortly thereafter, I began my journey to earn my Master of Science degree in Counseling, specializing in School Counseling. While in Graduate school I interned at an Elementary and High School within the San Juan Unified School District. I also worked as a Migrant Education Advisor at the K-12 level in Yuba City, California. I graduated with my Master's in the spring of 2015 and joined the NP3 Pirates that summer.

I am thrilled to be a part of such a supportive team that strives to support students academically and personally. I look forward to continuing to watch our students grow and achieve their goals.

Ahoy, Pirates! A little bit about me. I attended Chico State, where I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Business Marketing. I then decided to fulfill my dream of being an educator. I completed my Master's Degree in Educational Counseling then moved back up to Northern California, which is truly my home.

I love to travel, hike, work in my garden which is a constant work in progress, and most of all I love to hangout with my family. I could not be happier to be a part of the NP3 Counseling Team and am grateful to be a part of this amazing school community. Here's to another amazing school year, Pirates!

Academic Planning

College Readiness

What Our Counselors Do

Our Counselors are assigned by grade level to individual Advisory classes. They meet with each student during the school year, to discuss their academic progress, future plans, and address any personal concerns. Students may request an appointment by sending and email (see below), or by leaving a "Request for a Counseling Appointment" form in their counselor's mailbox. Parents and teachers may also refer a student to counseling.

Counselors also:

  • Visit Advisory classes to explain the role of counseling
  • Work with Advisory Teachers to help each student develop their 4-year plan,
  • Provide test prep materials and appropriate career and college prep information to students and parents
  • Help coordinate college visits, and present the Academic Planning meetings for parents each February
