Development and Marketing Consultant, Boys & Girls Club of San Fernando Valley

After graduating from the University of California, Berkeley with a degree in Industrial Psychology, I found that my calling was to work with young people and have worked with youth at various levels for over 20 years.

Annually, for more than 15 years, I have produced the West Coast Music Festival and a Youth/Teen Summit at the Los Angeles Convention Center for LA County high school students. In 2006, I was asked by former State Senator, now LA Councilmember Richard Alarcon, to direct his "Young Senators Leadership Program”.

Today, I am a Development and Marketing Consultant for the Boys & Girls Club of San Fernando Valley, and I am afforded the unique opportunity of working with some of their teens as well as other youth in the surrounding community. In addition to producing Special Events, I focus my energy on creating programs that have a positive impact on youth and the community at large.

My passion is to empower young people – helping them to help themselves and believe that they can do anything they put their minds to, creating an opportunity for them to embrace (and for some, to reclaim) their power while developing and implementing their visions for successful futures. Powerful self-talk opens up a world of infinite and powerful possibilities and realities – a myriad of opportunities to change the world…one teen at a time.
