I recently had a baby on June 26th. I now have two sons, a 2 year old named Boone and little Levi (pictured below) who is now 7 months old :) Balancing school work, a home, a part time job, a baby, and a super fun and crazy toddler is a challenge but I enjoy working hard and am lucky to have a super supportive husband!

Through school counseling I hope to help coordinate programs and activities to help students with their college and eventual career goals, have students feel heard and comfortable, and effectively assess and aid in anyway I can. I love listening and connecting and hope to make every student feel heard and important.

My professional goal is to become a high school counselor. I had an influential middle school counselor but really lacked a strong high school counselor to aid me through high school. I hope to be that counselor who is proactive and helps students in high school find direction in their transitional goals.

I started my journey in social work. I found I loved being able to connect to my clients but wanted more than to only give them resources and referrals. I found I loved facilitating support groups. That's when I researched into school counseling and I knew it was for me!
