Hello! My name is Rayshawn Chestnut and I serve as one of the elementary school counselors at Robert E. Cashion. This is my 9th year as a School Counselor and my fourth year being a part of the Cashion Comet Family. Previously, I taught as a 3rd grade teacher, 4th grade teacher, and part-time ESOL teacher before becoming a school counselor. I am so excited to continue my school counseling journey as a Cashion Comet! I obtained a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Lander University. While there, I spent time as a member of the Lander University Spirit Team, EXPO Orientation Team, Presidential Ambassadors and dedicated a lot of my time to my beloved Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. I obtained my master’s degree in School Counseling from Clemson University! Go Tigers! My background in education and professional school counseling has given me a strong foundation to begin developing a comprehensive school counseling program in the elementary school setting.
My husband, Austin, and I love exploring the Greenville area with our two sons who keep us REALLY busy. :) When we're not chasing after them, I enjoy binge-watching the latest shows on Netflix & Hulu, reading, working out, traveling, trying out new restaurants, and spending time with family and friends.
I am extremely excited to start this school year and begin to provide students at REC with early supports in developing lifelong skills that can have a positive impact throughout their academic careers and personal lives.
