My name is Whitney McCoy. I was born in Indiana but moved to North Carolina when I was a little girl. I went to elementary, middle, and high school in eastern North Carolina. After high school, I attended UNC-CH and got my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology. I then returned to my hometown and earned my Master's of Science in Counselor Education at East Carolina University. I began my counseling career in Pitt County (4 years). I also worked in Wake (9 years) and Pender (1 year) Counties before becoming a counselor in New Hanover County Schools. I worked as the elementary counselor at Gregory for 6 1/2 years, Eaton Elementary for 4 years, and am now at Winter Park Model Elementary! I earned my National Board Certification in Counseling in 2007 and renewed my certification in 2017.
This picture was taken this summer in Jamaica. I participated in a program through Great Shapes, Inc. called Teach the Teachers. We provided professional development to Jamaican teachers in rural schools. It was an amazing experience!
My husband, Jason is a psychology instructor at Cape Fear Community College. We have two young children, Cecelia (10) and Oliver (8). We also have 2 cats (Fiji and Blissa), 2 dogs (Mango and Peaches), and a leopard gecko (Lenny). We stay very busy! I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, traveling, swimming, reading, going to the beach, and taking walks.
