School counselors have a unique opportunity to make a positive impact in schools. I believe that my life and professional experience combined with my fieldwork experience and education at Chapman University, qualify me as an exceptional professional school counselor. I am convinced that one caring adult can foster change in a student's life. I am confident in my ability to ensure academic success, social-emotional well-being, and college/career readiness for every student.

​

I utilize techniques from Solutions-Focused Brief Counseling, which I was trained in during my graduate coursework. I also consider Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Model when working with students and schools, as I understand how several systems impact the individual student. As a member of the American School Counselor Association, I model my practice after their professional guidelines and ethical standards to help ensure effective work and ethical compliance.

​

My work with administrators and teachers is a collaborative effort. I believe in consultation and teamwork, which includes consistent and professional communication. I am proud of the professional relationships built with my peers, professors, and staff my fieldwork sites, and I look forward to building new ones. My interactions with parents, guardians, and caregivers reflect an authentic hope for student achievement and well-being. I encourage student success and development through building relationships with the multiple stakeholders who support student growth.
