About Me

Hello Bulldog Nation! This is my first year as a Professional School ​Counselor at Thomasville High School. I am pursuing a Master of ​Science in School Counseling at North Carolina Agricultural and ​Technical State University (Aggie Pride!). I earned my Bachelor of ​Science in Psychology from Troy University in Montgomery, ​Alabama. I have an undeniable passion for counseling, and I am ​excited to pursue a career in a field that holds great importance to ​me. I am passionate about improving the lives of all students, and I ​am committed to making a continuous effort to inspire and ​empower our students in creating their own paths, socially, ​emotionally, and academically. I look forward to working with the ​students, parents, and staff at Thomasville.

Rainbow Abstract Background

School counselors design and deliver school counseling ​programs that improve student outcomes.


The ASCA National Model guides school counselors in the ​development of school counseling programs that:

  • are based on data-informed decision making
  • are delivered to all students systematically
  • include a developmentally appropriate curriculum focused on ​the mindsets and behaviors all students need for postsecondary ​readiness and success
  • close achievement and opportunity gaps (see how equity is ​woven into the ASCA National Model)
  • result in improved student achievement, attendance and ​discipline

Los consejeros escolares diseñan e imparten programas de asesoramiento ​escolar que mejoran los resultados de los estudiantes.


El Modelo Nacional ASCA orienta a los consejeros escolares en el desarrollo de ​programas de asesoramiento escolar que:

  • se basan en la toma de decisiones basada en datos
  • se entregan a todos los estudiantes sistemáticamente
  • Incluir un plan de estudios apropiado para el desarrollo centrado en las ​mentalidades y comportamientos que todos los estudiantes necesitan para la ​preparación y el éxito postsecundario.
  • cerrar brechas de logros y oportunidades (vea cómo la equidad se integra en ​el Modelo Nacional ASCA)
  • dar como resultado un mejor rendimiento, asistencia y disciplina de los ​estudiantes
