Personal Philosophy

I believe that:

• Every student can learn and be successful
• All students are important
• My priorities and responsibilities should reflect the needs of the students and school
• Students should be supported in all areas of their life, including their academic, personal/social, and career endeavors
• Growth and learning are developmental, as should be a comprehensive school counseling program
• Through advocacy, systemic change, accountability, leadership, and collaboration I can assist in creating positive forward movement within a school and student’s lives
• All students have the right to:
  • Have access to information about academic and career planning
  • Have access to a school counselor to discuss personal/social concerns
• All students’ ethnic, cultural, racial, sexual differences, and special needs should be considered in planning and implementing a comprehensive school counseling program
• Every effort should be made to eliminate education inequity through supporting academic success to all students, especially those affected specifically by this epidemic
