Stacy Jacobo
Psychiatric Social Worker
My name is Stacy Jacobo, and I am the proud Psychiatric Social Worker at Cheremoya Avenue Elementary School. I graduated from the University of Southern California with a Master of Social Work in 2020 and have been supporting Los Angeles Unified School District since 2021. I truly believe it is powerful to foster the importance of mental health at an early age and am lucky that I get to develop positive trusting relationships with students and am given the honor to support their social-emotional needs. When I am away from work, I enjoy spending time with my family and dogs, and am most likely exploring many coffee shops to find the best iced coffee!
