Meet Your Counselor!

What is a School Counselor?

School Counselors, formerly known as Guidance Counselors, help students develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to be healthy, successful members of society. They teach in areas of academic success, personal/social growth, and college/career readiness. School Counselors proactively present a comprehensive, data-driven school counseling program to meet the needs of ALL students in the school.

Hello! I am excited to be returning as the Middle School Counselor this year. I was in this building for my internship during Graduate School and was then a School Counselor in Anthon and Schleswig. I grew up near Des Moines and attended Drake University for both my Bachelor's degree and Master's degree. In my spare time, I like to hang out with my husband and twin daughters, bake and watch Netflix.
