Hometown: Sunnyvale, California

I am a proud first generation college graduate from a very humble background.  I grew up in the Bay Area and graduated from San Jose State University with a bachelor's and a master's in Sociology. 

I came to Stanford from the Educational Partnership Center at the University of California Santa Cruz, where I worked as a director of various programs. My focus has always been on equity in education and empowering under-represented students to get the most out of their educational experience. It is my honor and privilege to serve students in this capacity.  The FLI Office is a source of pride for me as I have seen the impact it has had on students  over the years.
