My story begins in Peru, where I grew up surrounded by family, culture, and dance. At 18, I immigrated to the United States with hope, responsibility, and the determination to build a future from the ground up.<\/p><p data-start=\"708\" data-end=\"1172\">Education became my anchor. I earned my Bachelor\u2019s in Child Development at California State University Northridge, my Master\u2019s in \u00a0Education in School Counseling from the University of Southern California, and my Child Welfare and Attendance Credential from UCLA. I\u2019ve served my community as a Pupil Services and Attendance Counselor with LAUSD, where my focus is always on students and families \u00a0making sure every child has the chance to show up, to belong, and to thrive.<\/p><p data-start=\"1174\" data-end=\"1398\">Motherhood shaped me just as much as education did. Raising two boys taught me resilience, patience, and the courage to advocate not only for my own children, but for every child who deserves safety, opportunity, and care.<\/p><p data-start=\"1400\" data-end=\"1787\">Beyond schools, I created <em>Lo Que Ale No Dijo<\/em> , a bilingual podcast where I speak the truths I once kept quiet. It\u2019s a space of storytelling, healing, and advocacy for those of us whose voices have been dismissed or silenced. I carry my identity as an immigrant, a Latina, a survivor, and a counselor into every episode because our stories matter, and sharing them makes us stronger.<\/p><p data-start=\"1789\" data-end=\"2028\">Dance is also part of who I am. From Peruvian Folklore to Salsa and Bachata, movement has always been my way of reconnecting with myself and with my culture. Through dance I reclaim my joy, heritage, and community.<\/p><p data-start=\"2030\" data-end=\"2320\">Disclaimer: Everything I share as a counselor, a podcaster, a dancer, and a mother \u00a0is guided by the same truth: healing happens in community.<\/p><p data-start=\"2030\" data-end=\"2320\">My work does not represent LAUSD officially, but it represents me \u00a0a woman who believes in the power of education, art, and storytelling to change lives.<\/p><p data-start=\"2030\" data-end=\"2320\">\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6e7c9a5 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6e7c9a5\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e338b4d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e338b4d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Advocacy and Counseling <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-32317ea elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"32317ea\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As a school counselor, I dedicate my work to ensuring students and families are seen, supported, and empowered.
