My vision is to help all students, regardless of ability to be their best selves. As a school counselor, my mission is to teach students to identify emotions, self-regulate, and develop social skills that will help them be successful in their community. I also expose students to various career options and assist them academically so that students can reach their goals.

The persons who have had the biggest influence on becoming a school counselor are my mother, who has always told me that I would be the first in our family to go to college and that I could be anything I wanted to be. And my teachers who encouraged me along the way to be a "wise choice maker" and not give up.

As a school counselor, I am able to give back what was given to me as a child, encouragement and support. Without the help and support from my mother and teachers, I would not have come as far as I have. I am a living example of being able to reach your dreams through hard work no matter the circumstance, and that is something I share openly with my students at Quail Valley Elementary.
