Hi AMS Community,
My name is Michelle Ayubi, and I’m thrilled to be starting my 5th year as a school counselor here at AMS! I moved from South Florida two years ago where I earned my Professional School Counseling degree from Florida Atlantic University (FAU).
With four years of experience, I’m dedicated to supporting our students in their academic, social/emotional, and career development. Outside of school, I enjoy traveling, hiking, attending comedy shows, and exploring new coffee shops.
I’m looking forward to a great year ahead and can’t wait to work with all of you!
