Year you joined HSH: 2016

Hometown: Panorama City, CA

Education/Background:

California State University, Dominguez Hills

Why HSH?

The Schoolhouse is my home away from home. All the moments and memories I have share with colleagues, students, and families are held extremely close to my heart. I feel celebrated and included at HSH. It has been a pleasure to find solace in the Hollywood community.

What work do you do outside HSH to support our mission?

The growth and longevity of my neighborhood and community, along with neighboring communities and neighborhoods, is crucial in order to maintain livelihoods and the well being of the population. I frequently visit small businesses and regularly attend events curated by friends and acquaintances geared toward promoting cultural confidence.

What is one thing people would be surprised to learn about you?

It is an honest truth that I collect miniatures. I have always had a fascination with Barbie items, Polly Pockets, and other miscellaneous objects such as Care Bear micro plushies and World's Smallest.
