I am so excited to begin my 12th year as a school counselor at Midland Valley! I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Augusta State University and my Master of Education in Counselor Education from Augusta State University in 2011. I am married (my husband teaches at MV too!) and we have a ten-year-old daughter. We have two dogs and a guinea pig named Oreo at home. In my free time I love to read, spend time with animals, hang out with my family and take naps. My favorite part of being a school counselor is building and maintaining relationships with the families I meet. I love to stay in touch with my former students and see all the amazing things they do in life.

I am excited to begin my 9th year as a counselor at MVHS, and my 10th year of counseling! My journey to my career was very non-traditional and I believe that you can achieve anything you truly want to. I attended Aiken Technical College after high school and transferred after two years to Georgia Southern University. Life circumstances brought me back to the area where I attended Augusta State University to complete my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology. I continued my education to receive my Master's in Education in School Counseling. I have a passion for what I do and love having the opportunity to positively impact the lives of our future generations! I have three amazing children ages 16, 8, and 6! I love spending time with them and watching them grow. We love swimming, sports, anything outdoors, and snuggling on the sofa for a movie!
