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 14th year with Berea City Schools, and my 11th 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 and three children. I love to read, take bike rides, listen to all kinds of music, and root for the Browns!
