Biography

I started my career in education as an elementary school counselor in Bristol VA City schools.  In the ten years that I worked in Bristol City, I worked at the elementary level for eight years and the high school for two.  I then worked in Smyth County Schools as the Guidance Director at Marion Senior High School for seven years.  I ended my career as a school counselor in Washington County Schools where I worked for eleven years at Patrick Henry High School. Upon retirement from public education, I began working at Virginia Highlands Community College as the Dual Enrollment Coordinator where I served for another six and a half years.  I started working for the HEALS Program in the fall of 2024 as a proctor/success coach.  I have greatly enjoyed all the  opportunities I have had the privilege to know throughout my career, but none compare to the joy of having the honor of working with so many outstanding and wonderful students over the years. here...
