As a school counselor, I love that I am able to offer
students a place where they are able to freely express themselves and feel
safe. The elementary school years are a fun time where students are beginning
to develop academic self-concept, and confidence as learners. Moreover, it sets
the tone for developing positive attitudes and necessary life skills that
prepare them to become the next generation of workers, leaders, and
decision-makers. I have many responsibilities, as a school counselor, to
include: academic support, goal setting, career awareness and exploration,
understanding self, peer relationships, coping strategies, individual and
small-group counseling, classroom guidance, one-on-one parent conferencing, and
peer support; thus, ensuring a positive and solid foundation for future
academic and personal/social success for all students.
I am extremely grateful to be a part of such an awesome team and I
look forward to serving this community for many more years to come!
