In the 26+ years I've been in education I have taught 1st grade and 2nd grade. I have been a high school counselor, an elementary counselor, and am now a middle school counselor.
I guide lessons, group counseling, and individual counseling with a kind and compassionate heart. Empathy and understanding is my goal when I work with children. I also work to dismantle and deconstruct systems of oppression through my work with children, families, and the community. My instruction and counseling is trauma informed.
I currently serve as my local counseling association's vice president. In past years I have served as president. Member NJCA Member ASCA County School Counselor of the Year, 2022 New Jersey School Counselor of the Year, 2023
