About me
I am a school social worker for the Kern High School District, housed at the district office. I am responsible for working with the McKinney-Vento students and families within the KHSD. I provide resources and facilitate linkage to assist students and families in meeting their basic needs. I also ensure students are able to meet their educational goals by offering transportation assistance and by working collaboratively with on-site school staff to assist the student in obtaining the necessary credits to graduate. Another responsibility of mine is to examine various ways to support McKinney-Vento students who are displaying chronic truancy and explore what options there are to assist the student in attending school.
