School counselor dedicated to social-emotional growth, 504/IEP advocacy, and data-informed student support.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a school counselor focused on helping students meet their social/emotional goals through IEP and 504 advocacy. I coordinate support plans, write 504 plans, and provide individual and group counseling grounded in student needs.
I bring a strong background in building positive environments, including PBIS facilitation and organizing schoolwide SEL and student engagement activities. I use SAEBRS data to identify targeted needs and support behavioral and social/emotional interventions.
I also support collaboration with educators and families through SST and IEP meetings, outreach mentorship, and connecting students to outside resources. I’m motivated by community impact—developing positive programs for youth and families and advocating for the lesser served populations.
