Hello, all!  I am currently serving as the Lead School Counselor.  My previous years in education were spent as a Special Education teacher.  I also own a competitive cheer gym, so much of my time after school is spent coaching cheer.  My spare time is spent with family and friends, traveling for cheer, volleyball, soccer, and frequent beach trips.   

As a School Counselor, serving students through direct and indirect services with academic, social/emotional, and career opportunities is ongoing during the school year.  Getting to know students and their individual needs is one of many highlights of this job.  Connecting students with resources and chances to navigate ways to be successful during and beyond high school is vital to their development.  I look forward to working with you and your student!

I am truly blessed to work with an outstanding staff here at AHS and within our district.
