How can we help?
Meet with a Counselor
Hi! I’m the Lead School Counselor at BYU OHS, and I’m passionate about supporting students and helping them thrive. Beyond school, my family is my happy place. I love beach getaways, playing pickleball, working on my golf game, and spending time with my husband. You’ll also often find me out walking with our sweet dog, Coco!
I earned my bachelor’s degree from BYU–Idaho and have a deep passion for education and helping students succeed. Serving a mission in Romania strengthened my appreciation for diverse cultures and perspectives. I love spending time outdoors and being with my family, and I’m excited to support you on your educational journey!
I earned my master’s degree in School Counseling from Capital University in Ohio. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where students can thrive and accomplish their goals. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our dog, going to concerts, playing games, and watching a good show.
