I am a Community Support Specialist with the Health & Wellness department. With over 8 years experience working for Madera Unified, I have to come to realize the importance of sharing knowledge and helping train others for the benefit of our students, families, and community. I do have a Masters in Communications that has shaped my focus on conflict resolution and effective communication styles that can transform interactions and environments. I have a passion for helping those in most need and am a firm believer that all it takes is the right person to take the time to listen in order to feel seen and valued. Time, patience, and genuine care is all it takes!
