My name is Ms. Ashley, and this is my 5th year as the school counselor of the Odyssey Program! I am so excited to be working with you all this year to make our in-person learning experience meaningful and safe. I am enthused to help deliver lessons on mental health awareness for students and support our community’s social, cultural, and emotional wellbeing. I went to school at Portland State University for my Bachelors in Psychology and Masters in Counseling.
My passions are LGBTQ+ rights, allyship for BlPOC students and staff, suicide awareness and prevention, and helping each student advocate for their unique needs. When I'm not at Odyssey, I love doing arts and crafts, playing guitar and ukulele, baking, movie nights with my friends, and spending time with my cats Oliver and Morticia. If you would like to get to know me (or Oliver and Morty!) better, feel free to email me or stop by and say hi! I'm here and excited to have a great year with you.
