Fatima Hernandez '21I was inspired to pursue my M.S. in Counseling for K-12 Schools because I have a passion for helping students. I have always worked with students and youth and wanted to be able to help many more by guiding them through their educational journey. Cal Lutheran seemed like the perfect fit since the program had small classes which allowed me to create relationships and bond with classmates and professors.
