I am a 1999 graduate of Susan Moore High School and currently reside in Oneonta.  I have been married to my husband for 20 years and we have  2 children.  Our daughter, Madi, graduated from OHS in May and will be attending Wallace State Community College this fall.  Collin, our son, is an 8^th grade student at OMS and plays for the OMS football team. I graduated from Athens State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and started teaching at OES in 2005 as a Kindergarten teacher.  I taught Kindergarten for 8 years and 1^st grade for 8 years.  During that time, I graduated with a Master’s degree in School Counseling from the University of West  Alabama.  This is my 3^rd year as the school counselor and I love what I do!  I am so blessed to work in a community and school with such wonderful people and kids. 

Thank you for letting me be a small part of your children’s lives.

All students should be treated with respect, no matter their race, ethnicity, culture, gender, religion etc. 

Each and every student has worth and dignity.  The school counselor advocates for all students because they all matter.

Every student can learn, and every student can succeed.

Every student should have access to an opportunity for a high-quality education.

Every student should graduate from high school prepared for postsecondary opportunities.  

Every student should have access to a school counseling program.

Effective school counseling is a collaborative process involving school counselors, students, families, teachers ,administrators, other school staff and education stakeholders.

School counselors are leaders in the school, district, state and nation.

School counseling programs promote and enhance student academic, career and social/emotional outcomes.
