Guidance

I am the 9th & 10th-grade Bilingual School Counselor at the High School for Health Careers and Sciences.

I have worked as an Academic Advisor at two colleges (both private & public).

Also, HSHCS was my 1st H.S. that I worked at in 2005.

I am elated to return home to support our school community.

In addition, I have worked as a Guidance Counselor for 16 years in NY & FL.

I graduated from SUNY New Paltz & Long Island University (Brooklyn campus).

I am an advocate for all students & a liaison for parents, staff & the entire school community.

I am here to support you.

I’ve been a Bilingual Guidance Counselor at the High School for Health Careers and Sciences since 2003. I’m a former Bilingual Social Studies Teacher, Grade Advisor, and Bilingual Coordinator. Presently, I serve as a resource for families to ensure the social and emotional aspects of my students are being met. In addition, as the 12th grade guidance counselor I assist in supporting the senior students to graduate and work closely with the YABC program to ensure this. In 2016, I was awarded “Counselor of the year.”

For the past 18 years, I have been a member of the School Leadership Team. As a member, I collaborate with the administration and the rest of the school staff to initiate ideas to enhance the school culture. My educational background includes the certificate of advanced study as a school building leader and district administrator, along with a masters degree in School Psychology, Guidance Counselor, and Bilingual Education.
