Howdy, Huskies!
I am so excited to spend my 10th year in education with all of you! This school year looks different, and so far, it's been an incredible year for all of us to learn and grow together. I am always here for you, and consider myself blessed to get to serve as your Professional School Counselor once again!

Get Plenty of Sleep When we get enough rest, our cognitive functioning is stronger, we're less stressed, have more grace and patience with others, and our days are generally more positive. So, allow yourself anywhere between 7 - 9 hours. You (and those around you) will be glad you did! | Easy on the Screens We've never been more connected to our devices. Technology has been so helpful during this pandemic; however, with as much time as we ALREADY spend online, there's no need to add more. So, trade unnecessary screen time for face to face conversations with others, reading a book, or trying to become more present and mindful of what (and who) is around you. | Increase Peace, Decrease Nonsense Life brings enough drama on its own, especially right now. There is no need to allow more into your space. You have a right and a duty to your own mental health to set your boundaries for who you'll love in proximity, and who you'll love long distance. |
