Hello Ascension Longhorns!
I am beyond excited for my second year as your School Counselor! I am here to support you in all things social, emotional, academic, and future planning. My door is always open to talk!
I love sports and have coached soccer, basketball and tennis. However tennis and pickleball are my favorite sports to play on the weekend. I enjoy hiking with my family in my free time! Over the summer I had my Daughter Palmer Jane!
Please feel free to ask me questions and reach out to me with anything you might need. I know this year is going to be the best! Go Longhorns!
Classroom Guidance
I am fortunate enough to have the opportunity to meet with every class once a week. During our class time we will learn about interpersonal skills, academic skills such as organization and time management, and other various life skills that will benefit students in the future. In accordance with the Louisville Archdiocese programs, we will also be learning the Speak Up Be Safe curriculum for child abuse prevention. All students Kindergarden to 8th grade will participate in the Speak Up Be Safe program. In addition to this, the middle school student (grades 6-8) will be participating in the Mindwise Signs of Suicide curriculum twice a year to learn more about suicide prevention. Both of these programs are implemented in all schools within the Archdiocese of Louisville.
Individual Sessions
I will be checking in with EVERY student at least twice this year! Once in the fall and once in the spring. Of course, students are always welcome to request an individual session if something arises during the school year. All teachers have copies of a Counselor Meeting Request Form for students to utilize when a problem arises.
