Information About Me:
 

Hello! I am the Pre-K-12 counselor of Thomas-Fay-Custer Unified schools. I live with my husband, Shapley, and our crazy black labradors with a lot of energy, Luger. and Reyna. We also have a Flemish Giant bunny named Hopsin.  I am originally from Shattuck, OK (yes, home of the infamous Windmill Museum). I have great memories there of pitching in softball, being on the academic team, art, and vocal. Afterwards, I attended SWOSU, first receiving a BA in English Education, and then getting a MA in School Counseling. I am a fan of helping our school succeed with a wonderful team of administrators, teachers, staff, and of course amazing students. I want all our students to be at their best, not only in school, but in their hearts as well.
