HHS Guidance Counselor

Welcome! Just a little information about me.,

I have earned a bachelor’s degree in early childhood/Elementary education and a Masters degree in school counseling from Emporia State University. Working for USD487 for the past 18 years has been an enjoyable experience, as I have had the opportunity to help guide students into a variety of different work and school experiences. I am currently on the school Student Improvement Team and Curriculum Coordinating Council , Crisis Intevention team and I coordinate two student programs: Rachel’s Challenge and Natural Helpers.

I am married to my husband Doug and enjoy the country life. I have three grown children. My daughter is currently working for an eye surgical center in Topeka as an Optometrist. My son is working in Saint Louis as a Mechanical Engineer, working for a heating and air manufacturing company and my youngest son is completing his final year of studies at K-state as an architectural engineer. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with each of my children and their families as well as ride and train my four horses.

As one of my professional goals, I strive to work diligently at guiding and supporting student achievement that may link each individual student to a life-time of successes.
