Zoe Avalos

I am someone who truly values giving back to my community and supporting people of all ages. Education has always held a special place in my life, and I deeply admire the opportunities it creates for growth, confidence, and connection. My goal is to help create and share that same sense of security and inspiration with others, fostering spaces where everyone feels supported, empowered, and encouraged to learn.

I have professional experience working with youth ages 4–18 in roles that focus on guidance, mentorship, and behavioral support. As a college advisor, I helped students plan their academic paths and prepare for higher education opportunities. As a group leader, I created supportive, structured environments that encouraged personal growth and teamwork.

In my role as a behavioral technician, I provided individualized support to help young people develop positive behaviors and essential life skills. Across all of these positions, my work has centered on empowering youth and giving back to my community.

I earned my bachelor’s degree in Liberal Studies from California State University, Fullerton, where I developed a strong foundation in education, human development, and interdisciplinary learning. I am currently pursuing my master’s degree in School Counseling at University of Southern California, further strengthening my skills in student advocacy, academic guidance, and social-emotional support.
