North High School Counselors

About Me: This is my 17th year of being a counselor at North High School. Before I became a counselor, I was a history teacher at West High School. My hobbies include weight lifting and anything athletic. I also enjoy traveling to major cities and experiencing big city life. 

Why I Love North: I love North because the kids are funny and polite. Also, we have very supportive parents.

Education:   Wichita State University

About Me:  My work as a counselor in USD 259 began in 2002. Before that I held a number of jobs, with the common thread of helping others. The best part of my career as a School Counselor is assisting students as they begin to develop their future story.  It is exciting to walk beside them as they are discovering their unique gifts, abilities, and passions. I have numerous hobbies, ranging from reading to hiking to construction (that one reluctantly). I have two dogs, including Lucy who is a therapy dog at North, 3 children and 5 grandchildren.

About Me: This is my 9^th year North High. I served as the College Career Center Coordinator at North for five years before transitioning to school counseling. My goal is to help students be successful in school by providing academic guidance and social/emotional support. Some of my favorite things to do outside of school include spending time with my family and five-year-old son, being outdoors, traveling, watching movies, listening to music, making art, practicing Spanish and gardening. Also, I have one cat and six chickens!

Why I Love North: North High students have spirit and grit. My favorite North High memory is signing the Tower with the Class of 2015, my first year at North. I loved being a part of the signing tradition.

About Me: This is my 5th year at North High, but 9th year as a counselor. I have been working for several years in various schools in the North End community. This is where I feel at home. I share many of our students and family's background and that is why I feel that I can relate to our students and make more of a difference in our community. My philosophy in life is that we are all equal and all have the same privilege and opportunity to attain a good education for a brighter future. This is the reason I am here to help our students, no matter what the obstacles life throws at us. SI SE PUEDE! I have two teenagers that keep me busy out of school. I love spending time with my family and traveling to new places!

Why I Love North: North High students and families are my family. I have known some of you for years and seen our students grow into young, amazing adults. My reward as a counselor is to see my students excel in life and go beyond their own expectations.
