I am honored to serve the students and families of Green Lake as the secondary school counselor, serving grades 7-12. Education has always been a passion of mine. I earned my Bachelor's degree in English Education from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee and my Master’s degree in Counseling from Concordia University–Wisconsin.

I began my career teaching middle school English for five years before transitioning into school counseling. I now bring over a decade of secondary school counseling experience to my role, supporting students in their academic planning, college and career readiness, and social-emotional growth.

I live locally with my husband and our three young sons. In my free time, I enjoy boating, swimming, and reading.

It is truly a privilege to partner with families during these important secondary school years. I am committed to supporting each student’s academic, social, and emotional needs, and I encourage you to reach out at any time with questions or concerns.
