Karin Allard is the full-time School Counselor at E.P. Barka Elementary School. She earned her Bachelor's degree in Psychology, her Master's degree in Human Services/Community Psychology, and her Ph.D. in Education, K-12 Leadership. Karin enjoys writing, hanging out with her family and friends, and doing anything outdoors: gardening, heading to the beach, running, hiking, boating, and riding on the back of a very nicely decorated Road King with her husband of 33 years. (Oh yes, and for full disclosure, she only roots for the Pats because Peyton Manning is retired).
