I'm happy to be Program Manager for Self-Determined Futures, where I oversee programs that empower individuals with developmental disabilities to direct their own services, independence, and personal goals. My approach is informed by my background as a former Service Coordinator with the San Diego Regional Center (SDRC), giving me deep insight into system navigation and knowledge of resources in San Diego County. Earlier in my career, I worked directly with clients as an ABA Therapist, gaining hands-on behavioral insights. I hold a B.A. in Sociology from UC Riverside, which grounds my work in equity, community systems, and human connection.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me spending quality time with my family and my cat, traveling to new places, or hunting down delicious local food spots!
