What is your favorite part of or the most rewarding aspect of your position?
One of the most rewarding aspects of being a school counselor is witnessing the growth and development of the students. It's incredibly fulfilling to see them overcome challenges, build resilience, and achieve their goals.
Why is creating a comprehensive school counseling program important to you?
A comprehensive counseling program ensures that all students, regardless of background or circumstances, have access to the support and resources they need to be successful. Not all students need the same thing, but a comprehensive program will help identify and target what students actually require.
What quote inspires you?
For peace of mind, we need to resign as general manager of the universe by Larry Eisenberg. There is so, so, so much in life that is outside of our control.
What do you do when you need inspiration to tackle another day working on behalf of students?
I think back to all of the successes students have had over the years and that keeps me going.
What do you do to decompress and refuel for the next day?
I read every single day. It helps me sleep better and resets my mind.
