About Your Counselor
I am extremely grateful to assume the role as the School Counselor at Heights Elementary for the Oakland School District. As the most influential years in a child's life are those in elementary school, I take my position very seriously and with great responsibility. "The knowledge, attitudes and skills students acquire in the areas of academic, career and social development during these elementary years serve as the foundation for future success." My role nurtures a strong relationship between students, parents, teachers, and community. Lifelong learning, interpersonal skills and self-awareness all encompass a child's solid foundation. Parents, teachers and counselors work collaboratively to achieve these goals.
I believe in having an open-door policy, I offer students a support system that they can rely on daily. I have a close working relationship with students, teachers, parents, The Child Study Team, and Administration. I consult with teachers on a regular basis regarding the needs of all students. In working closely with students and their families, I encourage parents to contact me at any time with questions or concerns.
To tell you a little bit about myself, I am an optimistic, enthusiastic, and motivational person who is ready to take on the duties of a School Counselor. I completed my Master's Program at William Paterson University. I also earned my SAC Certification, Supervisory Certification, and my Director of School Counseling Certification. I adore my family which includes my husband and two children, Emma and Jax. I enjoy being outdoors, going to the beach, and learning new things!
I absolutely love working with elementary school students and their families! My purpose as a school counselor is to assist students in making positive social, emotional, and academic adjustments and to provide students with information about themselves in order to help them make realistic plans. Ultimately, I want to help the students reach their full potential. I vow to advocate for the students and provide the appropriate counseling services to each student.
