Work Experience:
I have worked in education since 2015 as both a High School and Elementary School Counselor and also a Paraprofessional. Prior to working in the educational setting, I worked in the field of Community Mental Health for over 10 years. Since working in the Roxbury School District for the past several years I have worked as a K-4 School Counselor and a special education paraprofessional supporting children with learning, emotional and behavioral disabilities.
Philosophy:
I am passionate about building relationships with the students in my care, as well as, incorporating mindfulness and social-emotional learning when working with students. I believe positive relationships are at the forefront of any change in a child’s life.
Who Am I:
I enjoy spending time with my husband, eight-year-old son and our new puppy! As a family, we love traveling, being outdoors, and spending quality time with friends and family. When I am not playing Mario Kart with my son, I love paddleboarding, hiking and just being in nature.
