College/Career: College and Career Center News and Updates

*Introductions*

Welcome back to another school year!  The College and Career Center (CCC)
exists to serve our students in their post-secondary endeavors (Community
College, 4-Year Universities, Technical Schools, Work Force, Gap Year
Options, Etc.).  We run workshops out of our department in D-221, host
in-class presentations, meet with parents, and support our students through
one-on-one/group appointments.

We have attached a full CCC Contact List to this e-mail but we wanted to
highlight some of our new faces in the CCC:

*Jennifer Hammond* (jenniferhammond at berkeley.net
<jenniferhammond at berkeley.net?subject=>)

is our new College Advisor (AC, CAS, CEC, HB, & SEIP) this year.  Before
becoming a counselor, she taught English and social studies at the middle
school level and Peer Resources at the high school level.  It is in
training peer counselors and restorative justice leaders in this role that
prompted Jennifer to pursue school counseling.  As part of her program,
Jennifer completed an internship in school psychology at Emery High and
most recently, in our office of On-Campus Intervention (OCI), here at
Berkeley High, last year.  Raised in London, England, by a French mother
and American father, Jennifer found her way to Berkeley, California by way
of Camp Tawonga, where she spent all her college summers and discovered a
passion for working with youth.  In her spare time, Jennifer enjoys hanging
out with her rambunctious kids (7 and 9), cooking French food, watching
Warriors games, and practicing lots of yoga.  Jennifer brings a wealth of
experience to the CCC and her alma maters include Wesleyan University, Long
Beach State, San Jose State, and Saint Mary's College of California.

*Gabriela Diaz* (Undergraduate Counseling Intern)

Hi, my name is Gabriela Diaz, but everyone calls me Gaby.  I am 24 years
old and I am currently finishing up my bachelor’s degree in sociology at
San Francisco State.  I am so excited to be helping out at the CCC at
Berkeley High this year as I hope to work in this type of field after
graduation.  I can’t wait to meet all of you, so feel free to stop by and
say hi!

*Addison Fonseca* (Graduate Counseling Intern)

Hi all! My name is Addison Fonseca (addisonfonseca at berkeley.net
<addisonfonseca at berkeley.net?subject=>) and I’ll be an intern from Saint
Mary’s college, working in the College and Career Center with David An.  I
think the role of a school counselor is really great because it has the
ability to empower students by supporting them in learning their strengths
and abilities.  Outside of school and work I like to rock climb and eat
burritos.  I cannot wait to meet, get to know, and learn from the
counseling team at BHS!
