I'm Glad You're here!
As a school social worker, I am committed to creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where every student feels valued and empowered to succeed. I work collaboratively with students, families, school staff, and community partners to support each child's social, emotional, and mental well-being.
Together, we can help students build resilience, overcome challenges, and reach their full potential.

Who are School Social Workers?
School Social Workers are trained mental health professionals with a degree in social work who provide services related to a person's social, emotional, and life adjustment to school and/or society. School Social Workers are the link between the home, school, and community in providing direct as well as indirect services to students, families, and school personnel to promote and support students' academic and social success.
School social work interventions reduce barriers to learning enabling students to be physically, mentally, and emotionally present and ready to learn in the classrooms.
