Hello! I am Devon Ehardt Shelton, and I am proud to be Alameda Elementary School's Professional School Counselor. 

I am a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC), member of the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) as well as the New Mexico School Counselor Association (NMSCA) and was honored to be the 23-24 APS Elementary School Counselor of the year. I was born in England and lived in the United Arab Emirates before moving to New Jersey, where I spent most of my life. Then, I went to Indiana to attend Purdue University to get my Bachelor and Master's degrees. After my schooling I moved to New Mexico, where I have been for the last 15 years and counting. 

I love spending time with  my family and friends, traveling (I have been very fortunate to travel to many places in the world), reading, enjoying good food, learning new things, and taking walks while listening to audiobooks. I feel so grateful to have a job where I get to work with students; being a part of the team that helps students grow, learn, and work toward achieving great things - all while getting to celebrate their successes, makes my job the best! 

Please find my contact information below, don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns throughout the school year.
