I would describe myself as kind, caring, creative and a great listener. I have a passion for creative self expression and I feel its valuable to bring the creative process into counseling. I am the type of person that is driven to explore a variety of resources available in our community to help meet the needs of our students. For it is vital to provide the best possible support. It is important to have a delivery system that is mindful of the students needs and individual process to reach goals. I am personally a huge advocate for the counseling field and it's importance to youth. My personal goal is to establish a strong foundation for Terrace Middle Schools counseling program. As a social emotional, academic and career counselor I work with students grades 4-8 in both an individual and group counseling process. I myself am a Clear Lake High School graduate and have a huge admiration for Lakeport Unified School District. I hold a Masters Degree from National University in School Counseling as well as a  Pupil Personal Service Credential (PPS). I have a Bachelors of Arts degree in Psychology from Sonoma State University with two years of post bachelor studies in Art and Art Therapy.

Hello Terrace Families. This is currently my third year as Assistant Principal and ninth year overall at Terrace. I taught 7th grade history for six years and history continues to be a passion of mine. I love traveling, exploring the outdoors, and learning something new. I lived in Lakeport as a child and attended Lakeport Elementary and Terrace Middle School. Lake County has always held a special place in my heart and I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to continue serving the community and our students in this position.

Hello TMS families, I am honored to join the team this year as our new principal.  I was raised in Lake County and am glad to be serving the community again.  I spent the last three years as the Superintendent/Principal in the Tulelake Basin Joint Unified School District.  Before that I served as the Assistant Principal at Lower Lake Elementary School.  I know this school year will be challenging and different for us all but I look forward to the challenge.
