It is my mission to promote a culture of caring, open-minded, responsible, and empowered individuals equipped to thrive in an ever-changing society. I truly enjoy the work that I do and look forward to supporting the academic, college/career and personal/social needs of my students and their families. 

I am originally from Chicago and worked in Chicago Public Schools for 10 years. I have been in Lafayette now for 13 years and have been working for LPSS for 11 years now. I am also a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC. 

PARENTS/GUARDIANS, Please schedule an appointment with me if you would like to meet with me. There is a button at the bottom of this page to schedule an appointment. 

As is the nature of school counseling, students can drop by at any time or I might be in classrooms or dealing with a crisis and may not be available when you just stop by the school. I know your time is valuable and I want to be able to give you the time you deserve.

The absolute best way to reach me is by email. I monitor my emails during working hours. Answering the phone while someone is in my office, is a breach of confidentiality. Emails allow me to answer quickly, maintain confidentiality, and protect the environment of trust in my office.
