Ms. Rojas earned Bachelor of Arts in Behavioral Science from San Jose State University. After completing her education, she worked as both a Wraparound Facilitator and Behavioral Support Counselor for a community program. She is adept at supporting youth and teens, and advocating for their needs. As the School Counselor at BASIS Independent Silicon Valley for both the lower and upper schools, her objective is to provide ongoing support and guidance within the student community. While the breadth of her experience is with high risk students, she is excited to work in an educational setting and ensure that our students have a platform to voice their thoughts and feelings on everyday stressors. She feels that students learn best when you connect with them and provide a learning environment that is creative and effective. This was part of the reason she was drawn to BASIS Independent and our mission in providing our students with a joyful learning culture that highlights that hard work can pay off! Ms. Rojas enjoys traveling to new destinations and exploring/learning about new cultures, including the food! She has a passion for trying new things (swimming with sharks, parasailing, ziplining, rappelling off a waterfall, etc.) and have many more bucket list items that she hopes to accomplish!​​​​‌‍​‍​‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‌‍​‌‍‌‌​​‍‍‌‍​‌‍‌‍‌​‍​‍​‍​​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍​‍‌‍​‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌​​‍‍‌‍​‌‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍​‍‍‌‍‌​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‌‍​‌‍‌‌​​‍‍‌‍​‌‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌‌​​‍‌‍‌​​‌‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌​‍‌‌​​​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‍‌‍‌‍‍‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‍‌​‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌​​‍‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‍‌​‍​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‍​‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‌‌​​‌‍‌​‌​‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌​​‍​‌‍‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍​​‌‌‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍​‍‌‌
