Hello Panthers! I am a Gwinnett County native and so excited to serve as a School Counselor at Parkview High School. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Appalachian State University. I played four years of collegiate basketball for App State and continued as a Graduate Assistant Coach while earning my Masters in School Counseling.

This is my 5th year at Parkview (the best high school in the nation). I serve as the Counseling Dept. Chair, Peer Leadership Coordinator, NCAA Liaison and Girls Varsity Asst. Coach. I believe that school counseling practices in high schools contribute greatly to the atmosphere, culture and educational outcomes of a school. Please let me know how I can help you achieve your academic & personal goals.

Fun Facts: My favorite times are spent with family and close friends. I really enjoy listening to live music, reading a good book, and finding a new hiking trail.

Hello Parkview Panthers! It is my pleasure to serve as a 9^th grade Counselor here at Parkview. I received my BA in Criminal Justice from Kentucky State University, and my Masters in School Counseling from Capella University. I have found so much enjoyment in supporting the Parkview community and I believe that behind every successful school is a great school counseling team.        

Things I do for self-care: Spending time with my family is what I love most, but being creative, making things or flipping furniture is my happy place.

Hello, I have been a School Counselor at Parkview since 2014. I attended Georgia Southern University (Go Eagles!) where I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology with a minor in Child and Family Development and my Master of Education degree in Counselor Education, with an emphasis in School Counseling. I began my career as an Academic Advisor at the University of Georgia in the College of Education, where I worked for three years. During those three years, I was able to earn certificates in the following fields: Academic Advising, Diversity & Inclusion, and Emergency Preparedness Conflict De-Escalation. I am a member of the American School Counselor Association. I am married to my wonderful husband, who is a teacher with GCPS and we have two children. I am excited to continue helping students through the high school journey.

I am originally from Western New York. I received my B.A. in Psychology from the State University of New York (SUNY) College at Fredonia. I earned my M.S. in Counselor Education from Canisius College. I also attended Walden University, where I finished all but my dissertation in a Health Psychology Ph.D. program.

I began my career in 1996 at North Forsyth High School in Cumming, GA. I worked there until 1998, when I decided I would go back to Western New York to pursue a Physical Therapy degree. After arriving on campus, I decided that counseling was my true passion, so I returned to Georgia and took a job at the Cottage School (a private school for students with mild learning disabilities). In 1999, I returned to North Forsyth High School, where I stayed until 2006. During my time there, I was a Lanier Technical College Advisory Committee Member. I was an Instructional Extension Coordinator where I wrote a yearly proposal for zero period classes for students needing to make up credits. I served as an SAT Prep Early Morning Class Instructor, a Math SAT Teacher, and an SAT  Prep Coordinator.

In 2006, I came to Gwinnett County where I started out as a High School Graduation Coach at Phoenix High School. In 2011, I went to work for GIVE West Middle School (half-time) and Parkview High School (half-time). I have now been at Parkview High School full-time since 2012.

I love Parkview High School because of the students and the parents. I find so many of the parents are very supportive of the educators here. The students are respectful and eager to take the advice that we may offer. The students engage in rigorous classes and are always ready for the next challenge. I look forward to working with you all!
