I am excited to serve as an Upper School Counselor at The Lang School. I hold two master’s degrees, one in Secondary Education and another in School Counseling, as well as a bachelor’s degree in History and a certification in Special Education. This educational background allows me to bring a well-rounded perspective to supporting students throughout their school experience. I chose school counseling because I wanted to build meaningful relationships with students and support them both in and beyond the classroom. What I enjoy most is getting to know each student as an individual and helping them navigate their own unique path toward the future. Outside of school, I enjoy watching movies and television, playing video games, reading comics, hiking, and taking an annual trip to Walt Disney World. I am also an avid sports fan and have a deep interest in all things related to space and science fiction.
