As Emma Elementary's guidance counselor, my goal is to work as a member of a professional education team to assist our students in excelling in academics, the personal and social arena and career exploration.  To implement this goal, I teach classroom guidance lessons and counsel students individually and in small groups.  I also collaborate with teachers, parents and community agencies regarding various student/family issues.

 

My experience includes nine years as a classroom teacher and ninteen years as a school counselor.  I have a BS in elementary education and a MA in educational psychology/school counseling and am also National Board certified.
