As the counselor at Utopia ISD I would like to assist all students in their college and career plans after high school graduation. It is important to choose a career that is
fulfilling
matches your skillset
matches your values and culture
financially rewarding
in demand
located where you want to live
suited to your personality
You will be working for many years so let's plan to make them enjoyable.

In 1996 I earned a degree in Accounting from the University of South Africa, in 2005 a degree in Education from Schreiner University, and I'm almost finished with my Masters in Professional School Counseling with Angelo State University. I have a daughter at Texas A&M. My experience with universities spans continents and decades. I wish to use this experience to help students and families successfully navigate their future. Please do not hesitate to put in a request to meet with me. Sincerely, Mrs. Kay

When planning for a decade, plant trees.
When planning for life, train and educate people.
