Office Hours

9:00AM to 5:30PM

I’m here as a Programs and Services Specialists to help you navigate the Garfield campus, connect to resources, and stay on track toward your academic and career goals. I was born and raised in San Diego, CA. I recently moved to Los Angeles to pursue my dream of becoming the first doctor in my family lineage. As a current parent student, I relate to students experiencing the juggling of life, work, and family. If you ever need someone to talk to, I am here. Whether you have questions about programs, eligibility, requirements, or next steps, I serve as a support person who can help you make sense of the process and connect you to the right opportunities on campus and in the community. You’ll often see me leading orientations, workshops, and outreach events designed to help you learn about available services, plan your goals, and feel confident using campus resources. I also meet with students one-on-one to talk through challenges, review academic plans, and explore educational or career options. Behind the scenes, I work with faculty and staff to keep programs running smoothly, coordinate events, and make sure information and resources are accessible and up to date. My goal is to make your experience feel supportive, clear, and empowering so you don’t have to navigate college alone.
