    My Education and Professional Background

    I have been in education since 2006. I attended Bowling Green State University in Ohio where I received my Master's Degree in School Counseling and my Bachelors degree in Secondary Education. I am also a National Board Certified Counselor.

    My Educational Philosophy

    I believe that students want to be successful and as educators it is our responsibility to teach them how to succeed academically, socially, emotionally, and behaviorally. To function successfully in today's fast-paced society, students' need to be self-aware and embrace a positive attitude. My primary focus is to teach students how to learn from their experiences and behaviors, how to use coping skills when faced with challenges, and how to be the best version of themselves.
