Hi my name is Lesley I am a senior (I know I don’t look like one) I’m probably one of the easiest peer counselors to find due to my white hair. I love to listen and help others. The peer leaders class has taught me how I can help you help yourself. So if you ever need to rant, want to talk, or need some help I'm always open to hear about anything and or everything. :) And if you're a bad bunny fan and love to dance, let me know because I'm definitely the best dancer out of all the peer leaders!

Hi I’m Grace, I’m a senior at Rancho Buena Vista, I’m playing field hockey, working at a pizza place, and living life to the fullest. I love clothes, my friends, and family, I like being around others, and I’m always here to listen to anyone who wants to talk.

What's up guys, my name is Lealand and I'm a senior here at Rancho but I'm definitely the most laid back peer leader. I like to go to the beach, fish and I'm on the varsity baseball team for RBV. I've played baseball for 13 years so I'm really good at communicating and listening to others. I also really like cars and I for sure drive the best car out of all the peer leaders. I drive a 2020 Chevy Silverado and I'm always adding something to it. Let me know if you need anything. I'm always here to listen and talk.

Hey hey hey! My name is Lilian Camacho, but most people call me Lil. I love teamwork and I am very observant. I have played soccer for 13 years and spent all 4 years on varsity here at RBV, so I understand how to care, encourage, and assist others. I am a huge goofball who laughs at any chance I get and my main goal at the end of every day is to smile. You can tell me anything and everything, and I will do my best to support you. I am super energetic and I walk through the day knowing I am giving at least 50% of what I can. I work at a sports bar so I love talking to people. When you need me to listen, that is exactly what I will do. You and I are in this together so let's do this.

Heyyy girly pop! My role here at RBV is to help you help yourself. My goal is to put you on a positive path in which you will find your true self and inner peace at your own pace. I believe myself to be an empathetic and understanding person. I will try my best to advocate for you so that you could succeed in not only high school, but in the future. And I promise to not judge you because your secrets are safe with me bbg ;) Also, come see me if you’re an Abel stan <3

Looking through my fellow peer counseling team everyone began their bio’s with Hey or Hi, but i’m going to switch it up, so wassup. I’m Alexis and I am a senior. It's kind of weird to say it because these 4 years flew by so quickly and I reflect on my strengths that I entered high school with and what I am leaving highschool with. I am proud to say a big strength I have is being able to listen without interrupting, so if you ever want to vent to whether you just want to update me on how your weekend was I am here! I am a greys anatomy fan, if you watch it you should contact me so we can spill about our opinions on the show. If you are scared to ask for me, you can easily find me because I have a bright blue winnie the pooh backpack because duh it’s a senior thing to wear your last childhood backpack.

Hi I’m Kaylie, I've been at RBV since sophomore year and know that high school can be ruff. I spend most of my time by myself, with my dog or with my family. I’m kind of a loner, which is what I prefer most of the time. I have high expectations for myself especially when it comes to grades, even when I am exhausted. I’m understanding but will also push you when you need to be pushed. I know that life can be hard and I am always here to talk about any topic.

Heyy. My name is Sarah and I’m a senior peer counselor this year. I am a focused student and strive to do my best in most things.  I enjoy anything artistic (fashion, drawing, ceramics, photography, etc.) and being active whether that's going to the gym or just taking myself to the beach. My biggest strengths are that I'm empathetic and logical. I’m excited to put myself out there and be able to help other students that have been struggling. I'm so happy I get the opportunity to make a true difference on campus. I’m not the loudest in the bunch, but I’m very trustworthy and will do my best to be a benefit in your life.

Hello I’m Elsa! I am a senior and peer counselor at RBV. I’m involved in several extra curricular activities such as track, cross country, working at the Vista Farmers’ market, and a full IB candidate. So I genuinely understand the struggle of time management and feeling burnt out. During my free time I love to paint, be in nature, and simply spend time making fun memories. I am more of an introverted person but I enjoy one on one conversations and I would say that my strengths are listening and empathizing. At the end of the day I wish to see you happy with your life and I will do my best to get you there!

Hi Y’all! My name is Taylor and I am a senior here at Rancho! And I am one of the many Peer Counselors this year! I play volleyball for the school and have played for about 4 years.

Hey! I’m a senior and I'm one of the Peer Counselors here at RBV. I’m the captain of the Color Guard Team and the President of the Black Student Union. Outside of school, I like to go to the beach and go to Target. One of my strengths is that I’m a great listener. My friends tell me that I’m down to Earth and I’m open-minded when they tell me things. A goal of mine is to make others feel like they belong and help get on track. I love to see people succeed.

Hello there, my name is George Von Borstel. I am a senior at RBV and I will be one of the many peer counselors for this year. I will admit that I am one of the quieter peer counselors out of the bunch, but that comes as a great strength because when my mouth is shut, I'm always listening, and so I can completely guarantee that I'll be listening to whatever you need to say during one on one sessions. In my free time I like to draw, play video games, and even animate. If you’re in a tough situation and need to talk to someone, go ahead and schedule a peer counseling session, I'll be happy to help!

Hi, my name is Sophia, I am an involved senior here on campus. You may find me helping out at boys water polo games, playing in girls water polo, and throwing for our track team. Being someone with ADHD, I understand the struggles of keeping on top of a schedule especially with sports. Homework has never really been my friend, I have learned how to manage it though. I go with the tough love approach, meaning I will help you help yourself by telling you how I see it. Hope to help some of you with the high school experience.
