It is a great day to be a GMS Maverick and I am beyond excited to be a part of this Maverick family.  I have been a counselor in this great district for 25 years, starting out at Madison Central High School, then onto Ridgeland High School where I helped to open it in 2002 and worked there for 14 years, then switched gears from high school to middle school where I was blessed to become a part of the Maverick family here at GMS.    I obtained my Bachelor of Science degree from LSU and my Master of Counseling Psychology from Mississippi College.  I am also a National Board Certified Counselor, where I hold a certification as a National Certified Counselor and National Certified School Counselor.  I will be working with 8th grade this year.  I know many of your students and have really enjoyed talking with them.  I look forward to working with all of you to make this a very successful year.
