About me
I am a California licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and hold a pupil personnel service credential for school social work. Prior to working in education, I provided case management and substance abuse treatment for parolees, taught job readiness skills to adults seeking work in the food industry, served as an office administrator and paralegal for a law office, and provided therapy and parenting support for families in truancy court. I started my education career providing education related mental health services (ERMHS) for special education students with high mental health needs. I worked for several years with alternative education students in independent study and continuation. As attendance TSA, I support all schools in the district to follow attendance law and policy and chair the School Attendance Review Board. SARB helps students and families identify and overcome barriers to school attendance when site interventions are not successful.
