Welcome to my webpage!  I am so happy to be here at Ponder and to work with you, your children, and the faculty and staff of Ponder Elementary School!  I have always had a heart for helping people.  The first 15 years of my adult career I spent with my family working in cross-cultural contexts. I’ve spent the past 14 years in a variety of educational roles, teaching 3rd through 7th grade, both special education and general education, and the last 4 years as a school counselor.  During those years I completed my MA degrees in School Counseling and Professional Counseling.  In addition to my teaching and school counseling certifications, I am licensed by the State of Texas as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).

In my free time I enjoy walks with my family, coffee with friends, and writing. This past summer I released my first book entitled Emotions - Your Childs and Yours: Encouragements to Help Your Relationship Thrive.

My objective as an elementary school counselor is to enhance student education by serving them, their parents, administrators, and school staff, and to help them find solutions to life challenges as they pursue a successful and meaningful life.  If I can help you or your students in any way, please don’t hesitate to contact me.  Thank you very much, and have a great day!

Peace,
