Van Buren Elemenary School Counselor
A little something about your Counselor ...
I have been a counselor for a total of 26 years. Before becoming an Elementary Counselor I was a High School Counselor for 6 years, 1 year in Middle School and 19 years in Elementary. I have been married for 28 years, I have 3 children and a granddaughter.
I have been your counselor at Van Buren Elementary School for 8 years and have loved working with your children. I love seeing and hearing their every day new ideas, inquiring questions and of course some silly ones, but each child has their own unique character.
Students are my Passion! Every year is a new beginning for each of my students. They grow, make new choices, create new ideas, make new friends and discover that every new school year brings new challenges. As a counselor my goal is to build trust with "my kiddos" and promote a positive self-esteem and self-empowerment to discover their gifts and talents. I teach about life choices, positive attitude, self-awareness and other life skills needed to navigate into becoming a positive individual in our society and fullfilling future dreams.
