Markita Smith - Him-Kos

Hi, I’m excited to be joining the Adrey Kell Counseling team.  This is my 15th year as a school counselor.  I received my Master’s degree from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and my undergraduate degree from Coastal Carolina College.  I was born in Myrtle Beach, SC.  I have lived in several states including Alaska, California, North and South Carolina.  I am married with three kids (a daughter and twins (boys).

I love traveling, especially visiting new countries; my goal is to visit a different country at least once a year!  Running is one of my passions along with adventurous outdoor activities.  I have ran several marathons including the NY City Marathon and the Chicago Marathon. 

I love education! I believe every student can be successful.  I learn new things every day, from students and life lessons…

My advice to students: follow your dreams, believe in yourself, be yourself and success will happen, naturally!
