As an educational counselor, I mentor students from the first grade through twelfth grade-graduating seniors, providing academic support and resources for success, utilizing a social, emotional model to encourage their productivity in school, support through difficult situations, and facilitate personal growth. I engage their parents/caregivers, teachers, and coaches to capture the full spectrum of the student’s needs and establish a template to activate their success, and introduce students to activities that broaden their perspective, and/or engage their social skills.

It is vital to establish a model and template toward success for many of our students, while helping them with resources to ensure their success. Some of our students need additional support to achieve better grades, to make better life choices, and to plan for post-high school experiences, such as college.
