A little bit about myself
Personal Interests : Literature, films, martial arts and a long list of apparently incompatible items.
Dislikes : Violence, inequality, selfishness, unethical behavior and being on the spotlight.
EGOal (fantasy) : To be called Dr. Rodriguez someday and marvel others with my “newly” acquired knowledge.
Ultimate Goal : To make the world a better place for our children while remaining anonymous.
I obtained a Master of Science in Rehabilitation Counseling at SDSU and a Bachelor of Arts from UC Berkeley. I am certified by the Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification (CRCC) and hold a current membership with the American Counseling Association (ACA).
I have 10 years of experience providing counseling and support services to diverse populations in non-profit and academic settings. I strongly believe in the ability of the human being to overcome barriers. This belief is partially responsible for my interest in sociopolitical/educational research, individuals with disabilities, first-generation and underrepresented students. My counseling focus is to provide the tools to help individuals become self-sufficient and life-long learners.
