9th Grade Counselor

I believe education is the key to a strong foundation in any profession.  I have always wanted to be a teacher since I was a little girl growing up in Berkeley, MO.  This will be my 12th year in education in which I have taught various grades ranging from Kindergarten through third grade.  My love for education started as a teacher and I will always be a teacher at heart.  Counseling and teaching isn't just a job, but my passion and purpose.  My passion is to teach, counsel, and inspire my students to believe that the sky's the limit. My purpose is to challenge the thinking of my students to change their narrative no matter what obstacles come their way.  I am a lifelong learner myself.  I am a graduate of Lindenwood University with a Bachelor's Degree in Education, a Masters of Arts in School Counseling, and an Educational Specialist degree.

When I am not teaching I enjoy traveling, trying new restaurants, reading, singing, laughing, playing the piano, going to church, and spending time with family and friends. 

While in Ferguson-Florissant, I have taught at Holman Elementary and Halls Ferry Elementary as well.  I strive to build strong relationships with my students.  I recently assisted in graduating the Class of 2020 of which many I called my own children. It is my hope that every student I encounter, feels like they are my own.

 I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, but have called St. Louis home for the past 15 years.  I have a BA in psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and a MA in counseling from Missouri Baptist University.  This is my 7th year working in education and my 4th year as a counselor at McCluer High School.

 I have been married to my husband, a Ferg-Flor graduate, for 18 years.  We have two children; a son who is a junior in high school and a daughter who is in 8th grade.  We have 3 dogs, and our daughter has 2 rats.

 I have a passion for education and making sure that all students have the opportunity to reach their goals.  I really enjoy moving through high school with my students, building strong relationships.

12th Grade Counselor

I am entering my 19th year as a Counselor at McCluer High School.   I have spent my entire professional career in Counseling helping young adults.  I believe that education is the cornerstone of preparing to be a successful adult, myself being a lifelong learner.   Counseling is not just my profession but it is my passion.   

I earned my Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice and Social Work from the University of Missouri St. Louis and my Master's Degree in School Counseling from Lindenwood University.
