About me:
I'm an Educational Therapist and Mentor for girls. I am a Bay Area native and know firsthand the pressures of growing up here and going away to college. I love helping girls step into their confidence and purpose. New beginnings like going to college can be so exciting and also terrifying so I created this workshop to help support girls during this time of life.
This Get Ready for College Retreat Workshop is one of my favorite things I offer because it's exactly what I wish I had when I was a high school senior. It's a culmination of what I've learned over the past 15 years. I was so excited to start college at UC Davis and simultaneously terrified. I was worried if I would do okay academically, I was worried how I would live with a roommate, and I was worried about how I'd pick a major among many other things. As I made my way through college, I definitely learned a lot of things the hard way. My hope is that I can offer some of what I've learned so other girls feel more prepared for this big transition and next life step.
