School Counselors Help Students Build Bright Futures!

Welcome! I am returning to St. Mary School for my second year as the School's Guidance Counselor. I have the joy of working with students through classroom guidance lessons, small group counseling, and individual counseling. I also collaborate with school staff and parents in order to best meet the needs of students.

As a School Counselor, it is my goal to help empower students with self-knowledge, positive interpersonal skills, and coping strategies for issues children face.

I received my Bachelors in Human Relations from St. Joseph’s College in 2016 and my Masters of Science in Counseling from Long Island University in 2018. I played on the St. Joseph's College Women's Soccer Team my four years there, and won the Skyline Championship my senior year, in 2015! I played Center Defense. I still enjoy and play soccer in a women's leauge. My favorite color is yellow, I love sunflowers, tacos, summertime and going to the beach, drinking tea with french vanilla creamer, and spending time with my family and friends!
