Social Worker

About Ms. Taylor: "I am excited to join the Del Mar Don's this school year. I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker (ASW #105849) and will be working with students through Del Mar's Wellness Center. I was raised in Santa Clara and have lived in the CUHSD boundaries for 24 years. 
 
I come from the Santa Clara County Office of Education, where I was supporting another high school's Wellness Center. I really love working with youth, celebrating their independence and increased responsibility, and helping them navigate the sometimes challenging emotions and experiences that come with growing up. 
 
I enjoy having an active home. My spouse and I have three adult children and are caregivers for two elementary aged children. We are foster volunteers for the Humane Society, which fills our home year-round with kittens and puppies. I enjoy spending time outside, working in the garden or sitting on the patio, completing a puzzle. 
 
I'm looking forward to engaging with all the students and staff at Del Mar this year! Stop by Room K-4 or e-mail me at [email protected] for more information about available supports."
 

Ms. Taylor's Alma Maters: B.A. and M.A. in Social Work and PPSC - San Jose State University.
