Hello, my name is Jody Bresee and I am honored to be the school social worker at Aversboro ES. I earned both by BSW and MSW from Florida State University. In addition to being a School Social Worker, I also have my LCSW. My job as the SSW is to be a liaison between student, their families, school, and the community. SSW’s help to identify and remove barriers, problem solve, provide support for crisis, emotional and behavioral support concerns, obtain mental health services, provide services for families in transition or foster care, assist with and promote attendance at school. I love to spend time with my family, visit new places,  and spending time with friends! If I can be of any assistance, please feel free to contact me jbresee@wcpss.net

Hello Owls! My name is Orlando Dobbin, and I am one of the school counselors at Aversboro serving students primarily in grades 3-5. This is my 6th year as a School Counselor. Before becoming a school counselor, I worked as a houseparent at a foster care facility and a program coordinator with college access programs. Outside of work, I love writing & telling stories, traveling, and competing in triathlons!
