“I’ve always worked in education, and I knew that my purpose was to help others—that is what I always strive for. Seeing the mission at USC Rossier made me think, “I’m living it right now, but how can I be more successful in this? And how can I make sure I can carry that on with me and pass it down to other people that are aspiring to help others like myself?”

“Rossier’s MSC program was a remarkable experience full of intellectual enrichment and transformation. I reserve a space of immense gratitude and high regard to have been given the opportunity to furnish and nurture my skill set under the leadership of esteemed and passionate professors. As a Latina and Los Angeles native, learning from and connecting with such a diverse group of students and faculty from all over the nation was one of my favorite aspects of the program. The Trojan community is expansive and this program’s leaders (both students and faculty alike) did an excellent job of synthesizing the virtual and in-person experience. I attribute the MSC program’s educational instruction, support, opportunities and resources for my preparedness in my role as a school counselor.”
