Center Director
For the past 15+ years, I’ve worked as an educator in the U.S. and abroad, including in Africa and the UAE, supporting students as a social, emotional, academic, university, career, and well-being counselor. I’m passionate about partnering with children and families to provide thoughtful, individualized support through counseling, advocacy, and strategic planning.
I hold bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and Sociology from Mount Saint Mary’s University and a Master of Science in Educational Counseling from National University in Los Angeles, and I’ve continued my education through doctoral-level coursework in Clinical Psychology. I’m also a proud mom of three adult children, which deeply shapes how I approach working with students and families. I’m excited to build on Mathnasium of Westwood’s strong legacy in the West Los Angeles area and remain committed to our mission of Changing Lives Through Math.
