A native of California’s Central Valley, Aleah is thrilled to have the opportunity to further her passion for working with the Valley’s youth population, by assisting teen mothers right here in her own community. A graduate of California State University-Fresno, where she majored in Psychology while minoring in Sociology, Aleah is delighted to be a part of the Teen Success, Inc. team.
 
Aleah developed her passion for working with the valley’s youth population while serving as a member of the Mentoring Office of Fresno Unified School District (FUSD), the third largest School District in California, hosting a student body of nearly 75,000 students. While at FUSD, she facilitated groups of young girls, providing moral support, fostering positive self-esteem, and supporting each student’s development of social and academic skills. Aleah’s passion and dedication to her students was recognized when the FUSD awarded her the “Girl Power Mentor of the Year” award in 2019. In tandem with her duties at FUSD, Aleah has served the past two years as a Counselor and Educational Liaison for adolescents at a short-term residential mental health facility in Fresno. Aleah’s time there was filled working with high-risk youth, supporting their mental health and academic success.
 
When not working to enhance the lives of youth in her community, Aleah spends her time nurturing her extensive plant collection, hiking in the nearby Sierra Nevada mountain range, and listening to self-development books on Audible. She intends to further her passions by pursuing her Masters’ degree in either Marriage and Family Therapy, Clinical Counseling, or Social Work to continue supporting and providing resources to families and the youth population of her community.
