School counselors are educators with at least a master's degree in school counseling. We work with students individually, in small groups, or as a whole class on social-emotional, academic, and postsecondary education and career concerns. We provide all students opportunities to learn about themselves and others, assisting them as they learn to successfully navigate the circumstances in which they live, both now and in the future. All students are invited to share their joys and challenges with me and we will celebrate or problem-solve as necessary. 

 

I have served as the secondary school counselor since the 2008-09 academic year. My master's degree in school counseling, rehabilitation, and student development is from The University of Iowa. Prior to working as a school counselor, I taught middle school and high school English/language arts and coordinated programming for students identified as gifted/talented. 

 

Please do not ever hesitate to contact me if you have questions or concerns.
