    A recent graduate of the University of California, San Diego with a B.S. in Psychology and Specialization in Child Development. A born and raised native to Lennox, servicing the Lennox School District for 2 years. Originally started my roots as an Instructional Aide for the Special Education Department and branched off to grow as a Clerk Typist for the Instructional Services department with the Lennox School District. Currently aide in alleviating the barriers students may face that affect their academic journey, such as assisting with Inter and Intra-district permits, Student Attendance Review Boards, and Suspensions. However this role has allowed me to assist with projects outside my general duties such as helping with the promotional aspects of AVANZA and requisition of supplies to assist in their mission statement and projects.
