I am a pre K – 12, licensed TX school counselor. I have a BA degree in psychology from Portland State University and a MA from Lewis and Clark College. I had the pleasure of working as a school counselor in Portland public schools, Santa Clara of Assisi Catholic Academy and St. Mary of Carmel. Having lived in Pakistan, Oman and the US and being assimilated in different cultures, I became a strong supporter of social justice, equality and equity.
That is why I believe every child is unique and has a unique set of skills, therefore, every student’s success looks different. I hold high standards for all my students and am looking forward in advocating every student’s academic career, helping with college and career readiness and last but not least celebrating their personal and social success.
In my down time, I love spending time with my husband and my 2 boys, cooking, reading and bike riding.
