ABOUT ME
Hi!
![maria_-27_edited.jpg](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/75809b_b055480d937647109296fa4b3746cabb~mv2.jpg/v1/crop/x_5,y_31,w_336,h_336/fill/w_393,h_393,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_auto/maria_-27_edited.jpg)
My name is Maria and here on my page, I provide resources and information related to academic development, college & career readiness, and social-emotional learning. In 2019, I graduated with my Master’s in School Counseling from Fresno Pacific University; and in 2012, I graduated with my Bachelor’s in Human Development from UC Davis. I am a first-generation college student and I know firsthand the trials that first-generation students experience.
Since graduating, I have held different positions – paralegal, corporate health coach, community education specialist, school counselor, and now I have this space that I work on. Both in and out of the classroom experiences have enriched my life with knowledge that I have compiled to share with you.
I founded The Canny Learner with a mission to help students feel informed and confident in taking the next step in their life.
