Senior school counselor and test coordinator improving student outcomes.
What I'm looking for
I’m a dedicated school counseling professional with 20+ years of experience in school counseling and test coordination, along with curriculum development. I’ve counseled and advised approximately 375 students, building targeted support that directly improves graduation outcomes.
In my current role as a School Counselor, I’ve improved graduation rates by over 10% through targeted student counseling programs for 375 students. I also manage the execution of 5 testing programs within the district, ensuring seamless delivery and coordination across the school.
Before counseling, I taught Chemistry and Science—educating 150+ students across multiple classes and strengthening engagement through lab activities and industry tours. I’m seeking a School Counselor/School Test Coordinator role (or Chemistry Instructor position) where I can combine counseling, academic advising, and curriculum development to support a comprehensive educational model of academic, career, and social/emotional learning.
