I am excited to begin my second year as the 8th Grade Counselor at McDonough Middle School. I am passionate about serving our young people and believe that every student can succeed! I am a product of the Sunshine State, and grew up in sunny South Florida. After high school, I attended the University of Florida. Go Gators! I earned a Masters in Counselor Education from the University of Central Florida and I am currently working on an Educational Specialist degree in School Counseling. Students may see me in classroom lessons, short-term individual counseling, small groups, and so much more.  Whether after a loss or planning for a bright future, I am here to help!
