Counselor

I am so excited to be part of the Coyote Trail family! As your school counselor, I feel incredibly fortunate to spend my days supporting students as they grow—not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well.

I have lived in many different places over the years and I am so happy my family settled in the Tucson area. Tucson has truly become our home. My husband and I are raising our four children here, and we love being part of this community.

When I’m not at school, you can usually find me enjoying the outdoors with my family. We especially enjoy riding bikes together and taking advantage of Tucson’s beautiful weather.

As a school counselor, I am passionate about helping students develop important life skills—like managing big emotions, resolving conflicts, building confidence, and learning how to be kind and supportive friends. I believe every child has unique strengths, and I am committed to helping each student feel seen, heard, and valued.

I am truly grateful to be part of this wonderful school community and look forward to partnering with families to support our students’ success and well-being.
