and I am the 5th-8th grade school counselor.

I graduated from the University of Memphis with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology then continued my education at Montana State University earning my Masters degree in School Counseling.

I have worked as a school counselor for more than 10 years in public and private school settings.

The cornerstone to my counseling approach is the power in developing a sense of purpose and belonging. Students are on a quest for purpose. Without it, navigating life's challenges can be significantly more difficult. A sense of belonging is equally powerful; it fosters a feeling of community and connection with others, which can bolster resilience and lead to positive outcomes in self-worth, motivation, attendance, accountability, and personal growth. Therefore, using preventive lessons and individual interventions that nurture purpose, belonging, resilience, and security are the backbone of my counseling program. 

Specializing in the middle school and junior high years, I provide tailored support for the unique developmental transitions of early adolescence. My program integrates the Character Strong curriculum with a focus on monthly virtues and essential executive functioning skills, such as goal setting and time management, to ensure students are prepared for both academic and personal growth. 

If your child is ever in need of extra support, please do not hesitate to reach out.

and I am your child's PK–4th grade counselor and school nurse.

I am a Registered Nurse with over 15 years of experience caring for children and families. I earned my first bachelor’s degree from the University of Arkansas in Behavioral Health Education, followed by a second bachelor’s degree in nursing. This background gives me a perspective and approach to supporting the whole child — socially, emotionally, physically, academically, and spiritually.

As school counselor, my goal is for your child to understand and express their feelings, build relationships, solve problems, grow in confidence, and positively navigate childhood. I hold a deep trust in the power of kindness; I strive to meet all with warmth, a smile, and a stable, upbeat presence. More than anything, I want every child to walk away knowing they are seen and important to me as an individual, not just part of a class. Guided by our Catholic faith, I believe every child deserves to feel known, valued, and safe at school, and I carry that into every interaction I have with them.

I look forward to working with parents and our entire school community to care for each child fully – my door is always open!
