I am 23-years old, and San Diego born and bred.  Thrilled to be working at HGCS as an Instructional Assistant, I'm enthusiastic to incorporate all the experience I've gained since starting in Special Education at 18-years old. Prior to starting with HGCS, I worked with students at the Stein Education Center and San Diego Center for Children. I have a very good understanding of the needs of children and know how to adjust and mold teachings to fit their specific needs. I received a lot of ABA and Behavioral Training and I'm well-known for my patience. Personally, I love sports.  I play softball and, during my down time, I also enjoy taking my dog to the dog beach and park and enjoy time with family and friends.  I am an energetic and humble person, and I look forward to what is yet to come at HGCS.
