Why did you choose to become a school counselor?
I always wanted to work with in a school environment and be able to help kids. I started off as a Homeschool Advisor and from that point I knew I wanted to do more. I went back to school to get my School Counseling degree and that began my journey as a school counselor.
What do you enjoy most about being a school counselor?
I love that every day is different. I never know what the day is going to bring. There are definitely days that are crazy but there are many days where I get to build relationships with students and watch them grow as they journey through middle school.
What are some of your most-used or favorite resources?
I use a lot of Zeretta Hammond's materials. I also really enjoy going to conferences and learning new ways to connect with my students and their families.
As a school counselor, I can’t live without…
As a school counselor, I can't live without my work support crew. I tend to lean on them to help me through difficult conversations that I have with students. I also bounce ideas off of them and just enjoy collaborating with them to build a comprehensive school counseling program.
