My Students

I have the pleasure of working with students in grades 9th-12th with particular emphasis working with students in 10th grade. As their school counselor I meet with students to counsel them in their academic progress. I conduct Social Emotional Lessons within their classes and I also meet with students who have discipline, attendance, and academic problems. Students meet with me often and I help them develop post-secondary educational plans as well as tracking their graduation progress.

I want all my students to flourish and become the best version of themselves.

During the school year I have the opportunity to schedule Career Fairs for my students to attend as well as job shadowing opportunities. I enjoy working with all my students and strive to create a safe space for them.

My Project

During counseling sessions students meet with me to go over graduation and testing requirements. I also help develop post-secondary educational plans whether it be to go to college or straight to the workforce. I have some of the most hard-working, eager students who want the best for themselves. As I guide my students in choosing the best options post-graduation, I am grateful that I have the opportunity to make a difference in their lives.

My students deserve to have the materials they need during counseling sessions.

During counseling sessions my students have to fill out paperwork, register for classes and fill out any other paper work pertaining to them. I also give them copies of everything we complete so that they can have a sense of accountability and it helps them keep and stay on track. Often when my students show up to the sessions they don't have pens or pencils. I want to make sure they have what they need. The hole puncher, pencils, pens, colored paper and makers will make counseling sessions more efficient for my students.
