Hi Plain Pandas! 🐼💙
Welcome to the 2025–2026 School Year! I’m so excited to be your School Counselor this year for Kindergarten, 2nd Grade, and 5th Grade. One of my favorite things about working at Plain is that Miss Garner and I “loop” with our grade levels. That means we get to stick with you year after year and see how much you grow—right up until you’re ready for Middle School!
Before becoming the School Counselor at Plain 2 years ago, I worked for 8 years as the Mental Health Counselor here, so Plain has been my home for a long time. I earned my Bachelors Degree in Psychology from Columbia College, my Masters Degree in Counseling with an emphasis in Mental Health from Webster University, and my Post-Graduate Certificate in School Counseling from Winthrop University.
At home, I have a sweet and spunky daughter named Lyrik Grace, who is 6 years old. We love having picnics at the lake, going to the beach, and exploring the mountains. When I have free time, I like to read, watch my favorite shows, and spend time with my family and friends.
I’m here to help you have a great school year!! I can’t wait to see your smiling faces in the hallways and in our Guidance classroom!
