About Me
I love helping students recognize their strengths and discover what’s possible for their future. I believe school counseling is most effective when students feel safe, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. I love to help our teachers with building opportunities for students to explore careers, build confidence, and learn skills that will carry them well beyond the classroom. Outside of school, I enjoy working in my flower beds, being in the mountains and outdoors, fishing, camping, reading, and spending time with my wonderful family.
