Hi! I am the new School Counselor at Olive Chapel Elementary School. I am fortunate for this opportunity to be here! I have worked as a School Counselor for the past 11 years (3 years on the middle school level, 7 years on the elementary level and 1 year on the high school level). I am beyond excited to return to the elementary level!

I'm excited to be joining OCE! I graduated from Florida State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Family and Child Sciences and later earned my Master of Science in Counselor Education from East Carolina University. In 2020, I completed my Doctorate in Counseling and Counselor Education from North Carolina State University. I'm also a National Board Certified Teacher in School Counseling.

This is my 13th year as a school counselor. I am dedicated to creating and implementing a high-quality comprehensive school counseling program that provides both direct and indirect services to students. I enjoy finding innovative solutions to help students fully engage in their educational environment. I look forward to working with families and staff to support all students!

I am Christina Jenkins and am so happy to be officially a part of the OCES staff for the 2023-2024 school year, serving as the SEL Support teacher.  I will be at OCES on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. 

Because I have two Master’s degrees (Counseling and School Leadership), I have served as a school counselor and later moved into administration work. After 31 years, I retired from WCPSS in 2017. All too soon, I realized I missed the school environment and working with students. Since then, I have filled a number of administrative interim and counseling positions, mostly in Apex area schools. OCE is an amazing school and I feel fortunate to be a part of this staff and school community. 

My husband, John, and I have lived in Apex for 28 years and raised our two children here. Joshua and Samantha are grown and married now. We love visiting our kids whenever we can. I have a grand dog (Pixel) and a grand cat (Reggie). Baking is my favorite thing to do. John and I love taking weekends to hike and explore the waterfalls found in North Carolina.

Hi, I'm Alexandria Mumford (Alex) the school social worker for Olive Chapel Elementary School. I'm so excited to have the opportunity to support OCE and families! I earned my Master's and bachelor's in social work from North Carolina Central University (Eagle Pride!). Outside of work I enjoy binge-watching my favorite tv shows, exploring new restaurants, and reading. I also have a fur baby named Ivy who is a two-year Shih Tzu. I am looking forward to working with you all throughout the school year!

Hello! I am so excited to be Olive Chapel’s Speech-Language Pathologist!  Before becoming an SLP I taught second grade for six years at a Wake County year-round school. I love collaborating with educators and families to meet the needs of all students. I graduated from Meredith College with a Bachelor’s degree in Child Development and Elementary Education and later received a Master’s in Communication Sciences and Disorders from North Carolina Central University.  I hold a Certificate of Clinical Competence from the American Speech-Language Hearing Association and am licensed with the North Carolina Board of Examiners for Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists. When I am not at school, I enjoy spending time with my husband, reading, puzzling, and exercising.
