I am the school psychologist assigned to Beverly Woods and Olde Providence Elementary schools. I was born and raised in Charlotte. I received my BS in Psychology from Wofford College and my Masters and Specialist degrees in School Psychology from Winthrop University.  I am a mom of two and love crafts, exercising, and spending time outside, 

I have worked as a psychologist in CMS since 2013.  Outside of the regular school day,  I also serve on the executive board for the Metrolina Association of Psychologists in the Schools (MAPS), a local advocacy organization for school psychologists.

​I love my job because I am able to work so closely with parents, teachers, students and other professionals every day! As a school psychologist, I wear many hats and no two days are ever the same. Some of those hats include:

• Help with planning of academic and behavioral interventions

• Conduct psychoeducational evaluations to assist school teams in determining eligibility for special education services and section 504 accommodation plans. 

• Consult with teachers to improve individualized instruction and address student needs at all levels of achievement

• Collect, decipher, and use data in creative ways to drive academic, social/emotional, and behavioral programming

• Work with administrators to promote positive school environments and practices that ensure the safety and success of all students 

• Provide group and individual counseling for students

• Advocate for students and families and work to build stronger relationships between homes and schools

• Collaborate with community support services
