Dean of Students

This is my 8^th year as a school counselor and 2nd year at SCORE Academy! I am passionate about helping students achieve their goals and be their best selves. My husband and I have a yellow lab named Remy and a cat named Sadie. I earned my Undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of South Carolina and my Master of Education in School Counseling from UNC Chapel Hill. I enjoy cheering on both sports teams and spending time with friends and family.

COUNSELOR

I have been a dedicated School Counselor since 2013, of which 8 years have been in WCPSS. I am passionate about empowering students to reach their full potential and successfully achieve their dreams. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and my Master of Arts in School Counseling from North Carolina Central University. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my daughter, watching tv, reading, and working out. I am excited to begin my first full year at SCORE Academy!

COUNSELOR

I am thrilled to help my students achieve their goals! Seeing them succeed energizes me, and witnessing the pride on students' faces when they experience academic success or receive praise for their work is undescribably rewarding.  I love my job!!! 

I earned my Bachelor of Arts in English and Secondary Education from UNC Chapel Hill and my Master of Education in School Counseling from NC State University. I also hold a National Board of Professional Teaching Standards certification for School Counseling. I started my career in education as a high school English teacher and moved to a Student Services position three years later. This is my 29^th year working in public schools. 

I have 2 sons, 17 and 22 years old. I love it when they let me hang out with them. I enjoy reading or listening to audiobooks, painting, refinishing old furniture and scavenging for antique and vintage dishes at yard sales, estate sales, and old storage buildings. My happy place is the beach or any place where I am spending time with my sons.

COUNSELOR

Though this will be my first year at SCORE Academy, I have been an educator for 23 years. After earning my B.A. in History from NC State University, I taught social studies & weight training and coached football at Broughton High School for 16 years, including serving as the head coach for three seasons. In 2016, I transitioned to Apex Friendship High School to serve as Gradpoint Coordinator and intervention coach. Though I relished being a classroom teacher, I loved my intervention and student support role so much that I earned my M.Ed. in School Counseling from UNC-Chapel Hill in 2019. This will be my fifth year as a school counselor, and I'm looking forward to supporting our families, building strong relationships, and helping our students find success in high school and beyond.

SAP COUNSELOR

I have a passion for engagement, social justice and equality.  That has manifested for me in my work with youth and young adults.  I have a BA in history, a M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction and received my MSW from NC State in 2009.  I also received my LCSW in 2012.  I believe strongly that my role in education is to witness and encourage youth and young adults to make choices to either create or further their life goals.  

I have been working as an SAP Coordinator since 2009. I have two awesome kids, aged 17 and 13, and a spouse. I live in downtown Raleigh and I love having chickens!
