My role as a School Counselor means advocating, listening and striving to help ensure the success of students throughout their academic journey. I am eager to help students recognize the strengths that they have, so they can be the best and most successful version of themselves. I am grateful to be part of the DEO counseling team and look forward to working with the New Milford community!

I have been working with New Milford students since 2003. I have worked at both Elementary Schools as a 3rd Grade Teacher and as a School Counselor, and now I am a part of the counseling team at DEO Middle School. I enjoy getting to know the students, being an outlet for them, and working with them as they grow into themselves.
