Counselor

Hello! I am happy to be the school counselor at Beehive Academy. I graduated from the University of Utah in Human Development and Family Studies, and got my M.S. degree in School Counseling at Utah State University. I have experience at both traditional public and public charter schools, with all ages K-12.

I have received a student award for “best laugh” and I love when students stop by my office to say hello. I value each individual student I work with, and it’s important to me that all students feel welcome and cared about at Beehive. In my free time I enjoy spending time in nature, birding, photography, reading and traveling (pre-COVID, of course).

I am excited to be an additional counselor at Beehive Science & Technology Academy.  I am very impressed with the students and staff and all the potential that lies within this school.
Something about me:  I taught Spanish and Health Education for several years and love being a School Counselor.  I enjoy music, movies, sports, travel, family time, yard work, and experiencing the different cultures people bring.
value education and look forward to helping students through their educational journey.  Please don’t hesitate to come see me for support and guidance in any way you may need.  😁
