About Your School Counselor

  • I graduated from Ashland University with a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and completed my Master's Degree in School Counseling at Cleveland State University. This is my 15th year with Berea City Schools, and my 12th as a school counselor. Prior to working in Berea, I taught at a private school for 4 years. I live in Olmsted Falls with my husband, three children and 2 dogs. I love to read, take bike rides, listen to all kinds of music, and root for the Browns! 

For Students

  • If you need to see me, fill out a request form. Those forms can be found in the mailbox hanging outside my classroom (room 119) door.
     

    Lunch bunches: Approximately 5 lunch bunches will be scheduled each month.  You can find the lunch bunch sign up sheet hanging on the chalkboard in my classroom! Students are scheduled on a first come, first served basis
