Bio
I have been a Professional High School Counselor in Huntsville City Schools for 17 years; 13 years at Huntsville High School, 2 ½ years at NCTHS, and 1 ½ years as a District College Counselor. Prior to my career as a school counselor, I was a third grade teacher and a high school special education teacher.My role is to help guide seniors and juniors and their parents through the college planning process, college applications, and find and apply for scholarships. I also provide individual and classroom guidance on topics related to college as well provide parent outreach through meetings both in the schools and community spaces as well as recorded videos through ETV. I volunteer in the community as a foster for A New Leash On Life and at Huntsville Animal Services. In my spare time I enjoy spending time backpacking, camping, and kayaking, reading and traveling.
