I believe all students have dignity and worth. Every students have the capacity to learn, the ability to self-advocate, exhibit responsibility, and strive for accountability. I recognize each child has a unique background that contributes to the school community through varied social, economical, cultural, and academic experiences. The most important aspect of my school counseling philosophy is to provide a safe and nurturing school environment that advocates for all students. As a school counselor I will collaborate with all stakeholders to ensure all students academic, career, and personal social-emotional needs are are met. A data-driven program will purposely address the needs of each individual child and in turn create a positive relationship between home and school.
