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
