Erica Harris
@ericaharris1
I build equitable student support through counseling, crisis response, and schoolwide programs.
What I'm looking for
At Fair Oaks Elementary School, I designed an ASCA-aligned counseling curriculum, provided individual, group, and classroom counseling, and coordinated crisis response, 504, and IEP accommodations. I also established the school’s first Student Council and led events for more than 150 students and families.
My work across elementary and middle school counseling, classroom instruction, and patient care centers on helping people access practical support, build skills, and succeed. I bring a strong commitment to equity, trauma-informed care, restorative practices, and community partnership.
