My Project

Hello,

I am new to my school district and returning to the primary grade level since 2018.

I am excited to join a team of educators that have a common goal and desire for students to thrive. It is my effort to offer enriching lessons and ideas to my student learners. I am also determined to foster healthy partnerships with parents and community leaders.

Serving as a school counselor gives me access to make my dreams a reality. During my time in high school, my school counselor made a genuine effort to connect my professional goals with adequate resources. That is one of my foundational purposes for pursuing a career in school counseling. I take pride in supporting student achievement. With the appropriate incentives, checkpoint activities and interpersonal reflection, I have seen major SEL growth in stakeholders under my care.

Counseling for me is a work of HEART. Thank you for considering donating to my project!
