Greetings! I have been the school counselor at Mabel School for 15 years! As the school counselor I run groups, facilitate whole school programming, individual student planning, parent programming, and classroom presentations. I have served as the NC School Counseling Association President and currently sit on the following boards: NC School Counseling Strategic Leadership Team, Reach Higher Leadership Team, and the NC Public School Forum for Mental Health. In addition, I am working with the Southern Regional Education Board to write a module teaching counselors how to create a college going culture in Elementary Schools. For the College Foundation of NC I facilitated Creating a College Going Culture in Middle Schools this past Winter and Spring. In 2013 I was honored to represent NC as the Elementary School Counselor of the Year and in 2014 was a Semi Finalist for the American School Counselor of the Year. I love the students, faculty, and staff at Mabel and can't imagine working anywhere else!
