I am very please to be working with your children at Medina Elementary School.
I graduated from Dresden High School in Dresden, Tennessee in 1990. In 1994, I
received my Bachelor's degree in Secondary Education from University of
Tennessee at Martin. I taught high school science in a local system for nine
years before entering into the counseling field. I earned my Master's degree
in School Counseling in 2004 from the University of Tennessee at Martin.
Before coming to Medina, I was the school counselor for three years with a
local middle school. I am an active member of the American School Counselors
Association, Tennessee School Counselors Association (TSCA), Tennessee
Counselor Association, and Martha Polk Chapter of TCA. I am currently
serving as President for Martha Polk chapter and as treasurer for the
Tennessee School Counselors Association. I was awarded Elementary School
Counselor of the Year from the Tennessee School Counselor Association in
November 2009.
I am happily married to Bill and we have two children, Mary and Marshall.
I am also involved with several local organizations and serve in various
leadership roles. I look forward to working with the students of Medina
Elementary School and to creating a counseling environment that will guide our
children to make the best decisions possible.
The Counseling/Guidance Department at Medina Elementary School is a
comprehensive service that provides individual counseling, group lessons for
students and parents, and individual academic and behavioral planning.
