About Us

Ms. Brown

I am the Kindergarten, first grade, and fifth grade school counselor at Sandy Ridge Elementary.

As a counselor I am enthusiastic about student growth. I enjoy working with students, staff, and families on social and emotional wellness.

I have the best job in the world because I get to work with some of the most important people, being with them, and listening to their incredible voices and experiences.

As a counselor some of my responsibilities include:

• school counseling classroom lessons based on student success standards

• short-term counseling to students

• referrals for long-term support

• collaboration with families/teachers/ administrators/community for student success

• advocacy for students at individual education plan meetings and other student-focused meetings

• data analysis to identify student issues, needs and challenges


Outside of being a counselor I am also a mom and a wife. I love my family dearly and cherish the time I get to spend laughing with my children, husband, and dog Baxter.
