~Graduated May 1995 from Stephen F. Austin State University with a B.S.I.S. and an Early Childhood Minor
~Graduated May 11, 2007 from Sam Houston State University with a Master's Degree as a Professional School Counselor
~Completed over 3,000 hours of counseling in order to obtain my certificate as a Licensed Professional Counselor
I began my student teaching at an elementary school in kindergarten and then in a first grade classroom. During these special months interacting and learning from these students and teachers, I knew I had found my "home" working with children.
My teaching experience includes nine years as a first grade teacher and two as a third grade teacher. I always enjoyed our tremendous journeys of learning together. The children learned from each other throughout our many problem-solving interactions with partner, small group, and whole group activities.
A New Chapter Began...
This year I will begin my ninth year as an elementary school counselor in Texas. I absolutely LOVE being a school counselor!
All of us are on a journey of learning together. This partnership will help us grow to become lifelong learners. I know the children understand what they have learned once they can articulate and then "show" what it means through their own words and actions.
