I am so excited to join Navarro High School with 19 years of experience in education, 16 of which I have proudly served as a school counselor. My passion lies in helping students grow academically, socially, and emotionally using the Texas Model for Comprehensive School Counseling. This model is data driven and focuses on the whole student. I earned my undergraduate degree from St. Joseph's College while playing softball. Upon graduation, I headed to Texas State University where I earned my master's degree in Professional Guidance and Counseling. I have been married to my husband, Sy, for 15 years. We have two girls and live in Navarro ISD. As a parent with children in Navarro ISD, I am especially excited to become part of the Navarro community this year where my girls attend at the intermediate and junior level. I look forward to supporting all students and families throughout their high school journey, ensuring that every Panther graduates career, military, and/or college ready.
