Hi, my name is Stephanie Wynne. I'm living my best life in California. My family and I love to soak up the sun's rays and play in the waves. Being originally from Texas, living in this climate is a luxury and deeply appreciated every day. I have 18 years of teaching experience in all subject areas and have had the privilege to teach all grade levels from the small pre-kindergartners to the mature 12th grade seniors. Now, I'm the Surfside Independent Study Counselor. I couldn't be more excited. I earned my masters in school counseling at The University of Houston Clear Lake, so that I may support students in their educational process and build positive relationships with parents, students and staff members. It's definitely a Wynne-win situation for the Surfside Community! Go Sharks!!!
