Guidance Counselor
Welcome Spartans!
I am happy to be here and to serve the Collins-Maxwell MS/HS student body, staff, and families as the school counselor. Please feel free to reach out about academic, social-emotional, and college and career readiness needs and concerns. My goal is to provide support and resources that help students to move forward in their goals! If you have any questions send me an email!
