I am originally from East Tennessee but spent the last 23 years in Athens, Georgia. I recently moved to Carrollton to be with my partner who teaches at The University of West Georgia. I was a first generation high school and college graduate. I completed my bachelor’s degree in Anthropology at Emory University and my master’s and specialist degrees in School Counseling at the University of Georgia. I am nationally certified through the National Board for Certified Counselors. I have one amazing daughter, who will soon be graduating from Georgia State University, and I’m a proud cat mom.
This year marks my 23nd year as a high school counselor and I’m excited to embark on a new journey at Douglas County High School! I am passionate about supporting students and advocating for opportunities. I am particularly interested in advocating for equity and access to historically underrepresented and marginalized groups, providing support and assistance to first generation college students, creating safe spaces for students who identify as LGBTQIA+, and supporting students who have experienced housing insecurity and/or homelessness.
