Hello Coogs!  So happy to be working with you this year.  This is my second year as a school counselor and my second year at Canyon.  Prior to counseling, I was an English teacher and cheer coach.  The picture above is from a trip I took to Switzerland/Germany over Spring break.  I love to read, travel, sit by the pool, and watch college football.  Gig 'em Aggies!

We are hoping to visit with you in your classes throughout the year but would also love for you to come by the counseling office to visit. Hope you have a fantastic year!  We are so thankful you are here.
