 I am a proud graduate of Union University, where I earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Social Work. Currently, I serve as the Family Engagement Manager at East End Prep, in addition to my role as the SOAR Leader. One of my past highlights includes serving as the "More for Memphis" Apprentice Research Expert for Equity and Results, where I worked to identify and address the socioeconomic barriers impacting students and families today. With 10 years of experience in social services, I bring a uniquely diverse skill set that spans clinical work, group facilitation, schools, and community organizations. My experience has allowed me to serve individuals of all ages, from preschoolers to seniors, including teen mothers, homeless veterans, school-aged children, and the elderly. Outside of my professional work, I am married with four children and am deeply committed to serving my community. 

My name is Sarah Paige Hunter and I am a returning counseling intern at East End Prep and a third-year graduate student in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Vanderbilt. Before pursuing counseling, I taught first grade for seven years in North Carolina, where I developed a deep appreciation for supporting the whole child both academically and emotionally. I am excited to continue working alongside the students, families, and staff at East End Prep to build strong relationships that help students grow and develop resilience! When not at EEP, you can find me on a hike with friends and my dog, gardening, or cooking for the people I love. Looking forward to a great year! 

Hello! My name is Izzi Whitfield, and I am currently pursuing a master's degree at Vanderbilt University with dual specializations in School Counseling and Clinical Mental Health Counseling. In this program, I have had the experience of counseling many students (grades K-12) with varying needs, assisting them in their personal, social, and academic growth. I am so excited to be part of the EEP community and look forward to a wonderful 2026-2027 school year!

Hi! I'm Halle, a second-year graduate student at Vanderbilt University in the Human Development Counseling program. For the past three years, I have worked at a local nonprofit, where I recently transitioned from a Case Management role to serving as a Resident Counselor in the Crisis Stabilization Unit. I am passionate about supporting children and adolescents in their social, emotional, and academic growth. In the future, I hope to become both a school counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I am excited to be part of the East End Prep community this year!
