Miss Ortega, Wellness Specialist

Hello Tiger Family! My name is Brooklyn Ortega, and I am thrilled to be serving as the Wellness Specialist at VHS this school year. In my role, I provide counseling and Wellness support to help students strengthen their mental health, build resilience, and find success both inside and outside the classroom. I earned my bachelor’s degree from UC Santa Barbara and my Master of Social Work from USC, and I am deeply passionate about partnering with students, families, and staff as I join the VHS Tiger family.

If you feel your student may benefit from Wellness support, please reach out to their academic counselor to discuss your concerns.
