As a high school counselor, I work with students individually, in small groups and in classes to guide them towards personal success. I enjoy helping students resolve their academic, personal and social concerns. Also, I assist students with planning their high school course selections and exploring college, military and career options beyond high school. I meet with students and their parents who are seeking information about preparing for these options. I have additional responsibilities, which include: SAT test coordination, membership on various district and local committees and 504 case management for the high school. I am also one of the advisers for the Teen Rotary and SAVE Promise Clubs. Parents who would like to discuss concerns about their child’s academic or personal success may call or email me or come by my office at the school to speak with me.
