My passion is children and I strive to be attuned to their needs and to advocate for them every day. Being a school counselor is not only my job, it is my calling. I enjoy working for the Oakhurst community and believe that it takes "a village" of committed and responsive adults to grow socially-concious human beings.      

“To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society.”   

 -Theodore Roosevelt
