Bio: My name is Marisa Adams, and it is my pleasure to serve the Woodbury community as an Academic Advisor. I received my B.A. in Psychology from California State University, Monterey Bay and I received my M.S. in Counseling from California State University, San Bernardino. Prior to Woodbury, I was in a K-12 setting as a school counselor. In my position, I am focused on supporting students in a welcoming, collaborative, and student-centered environment. I want to ensure that students leave Woodbury with not only knowledge, but valuable experiences. Outside of Woodbury, you can find me watching new shows, finding new music, and spending time with my pets.
