Hello! This is my 6th year as a School Counselor at Gardner Park. Before becoming a School Counselor, I was both a Behavior and Academic Interventionist, After-school Program Coordinator,  and facilitated a Career Center for high school students. I went to school at The University of Connecticut (go Huskies!), and received a B.A. in Human Development and Family Studies. I then went on to earn a M.S in School Counseling. I LOVE working with this age group. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns regarding social, emotional, or academic goals!

Hi! I am so HAPPY to serve Gardner Park Elementary School students and staff.  I have been a Counselor for 7 years and this is my 5th year at Gardner Park!  Before my career as a Counselor, I worked as a Special Education Teacher, Social Worker and Marriage Family Counselor.  I received my B.A in Psychology from The University of North Carolina at Greensboro.  I then recieved my M.S. in Marriage and Family Counseling from Liberty University in Virgina.  I finished my School Counseling certification at Gardner Webb University.  I absolutely love my job as a Counselor, and most importantly I love working with the students and families at The Park.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
