Hello Carnage family! I am thrilled to be starting my first year in middle school. I have had the awesome opportunity to serve as an elementary school counselor for 9 years and am truly looking forward to helping your 7th graders grow and blossom this year.

I received my bachelor's degree in psychology from NCSU (go pack!!) and my counseling degree from UNC-Chapel Hill.

My husband and I are blessed with three energetic children 7, 4 and 1, who keep us on our toes! In my spare time, I enjoy watching the cooking channel, getting cozy with a great book or my absolute favorite, doing zumba!
