What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role as an online adjunct faculty member at a higher education institution. I want to work with future school counselors and help prepare them to be ethical, effective, and compassionate practitioners.

As a passionate school counselor with extensive experience in individual and group counseling, I am committed to fostering a positive atmosphere for students. My journey in education has equipped me with the skills to effectively collaborate with teachers, parents, and community stakeholders to support student growth. I have a proven track record in facilitating college and career planning, ensuring that students are well-prepared for their future endeavors.

Throughout my career, I have worked with diverse student populations, including those with special needs, and have developed tailored strategies to meet their unique challenges. My role as a school counselor at Cobb County School District has allowed me to guide students through the complexities of academic and personal development, while also implementing positive behavior interventions. I believe in the power of education to transform lives and am dedicated to motivating students to achieve their fullest potential.
