I am so excited to be joining the Benson Elementary team this school year! As your school counselor, I work with students individually, in small groups, and across the whole school to make sure that students’ needs are met in academic, social, and career domains. This may look like meeting with students who are navigating changes in school or at home, making groups to help students manage their behaviors and emotions in the classroom, or even teaching whole class lessons! Additionally, I also serve as the 504 coordinator and assist in other student services roles. When I am not working with students or at school, I enjoy reading, hiking, camping, and watching football on the weekends. If there is any way I can help you or your student, please reach out by phone or email!
