Hello! My name is Brooke Burns, and I am so excited to be the school counselor at Christie Elementary! I earned my Bachelor of Science in Education from Texas Tech University and my Master's in School Counseling from the University of North Texas. Before becoming a school counselor, I spent seven years teaching elementary school, where I developed a passion for helping students grow not only academically, but socially and emotionally as well. My experiences in both the classroom and counseling have strengthened my commitment to helping every child feel valued, supported, and successful.

As the school counselor, I work with students, families, and staff to promote the academic, social, emotional, and behavioral success of every student. Throughout the year, I provide classroom guidance lessons, facilitate small groups, meet individually with students, and partner with families to support student growth. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming environment where every student feels cared for, capable, and connected. I look forward to getting to know each of our students and families and supporting them throughout the school year!

When I'm not at school, I love spending time with my husband, our baby boy, and our golden retriever, Bailey. I also enjoy reading, traveling, and cheering on Texas Tech and the Dallas Stars. I am so grateful to be part of the Christie Elementary family and can't wait for a wonderful year together!
