 Hello! I have been the primary counselor for grades 11 and 12 at WIHI since August 2014 and I am thrilled to be part of such a diverse and vibrant school community. I grew up in Ann Arbor and played ball in Ypsi as a kid - this is truly home for me. Since joining the WIHI community, I've focused on serving students and families in areas of college counseling - college application support, recommendation writing for our amazing seniors. Additionally, I have a passion for supporting students academically and in social/emotional areas, and I'm proud to be part of the WIHI team in developing programs like our Suicide Prevention lessons, Lunch Learning Lab, bullying prevention and more! Prior to the birth of my twin son and daughter in 2013, I was a counselor at Tecumseh High School for three years. THS is a 950-student comprehensive high school located 45 minutes southwest of Ypsi. I loved being there and am proud of the counseling program, but the opportunity to move home to WIHI is a dream come true. I also have extensive experience on the college side, having worked for six years as an admissions rep at EMU and volunteering with prospective students during my own undergrad time at Northwestern. When I'm not at school or caring for my twins, you can usually find me running in Ann Arbor, biking, cooking 30-minute meals or taking a nap!

Hi! I  am so excited to be a part of such a fantastic school.  I am a native Pennsylvanian, but my husband and I have moved around the country multiple times and are thrilled to be permanently settled in Ann Arbor. After receiving a BA in Psychology from Wake Forest University, I had the opportunity to be a part of AmeriCorps, which is when I discovered my passion for working in a counseling capacity with high school students.  I obtained my M.Ed in School Counseling from Boston University and then worked as a high school counselor and track coach in Norwood, Massachusetts and Palo Alto, California.  After staying at home for 8 years with my three children, I spent the past two years at the University of Michigan as an application reader and academic advisor.  In my free time I enjoy being outdoors, taking hikes with my family and dog, running, and reading.

I have an interesting journey to this career path.   I have four children and adopted my three oldest from a Bosnian refugee camp when they were just 5, 6 and 7 years old.  They struggled a great in deal in school both academically and behaviorally.  Helping them inspired me to become a school counselor.  I hold a M.Ed. in School Counseling K-12 from Grand Valley State University, a B.A. from Oakland University, a certificate of completion in College Admissions from Harvard's Summer Institute and Level 1 certificate of completion for the International Baccalaureate MYP.  My parents always taught me the importance of giving back to our community and my past volunteer experiences have been life-changing . I had the honor of being appointed by Governor Snyder to the Michigan Domestic and Sexual Violence Prevention and Treatment Board. We reviewed legislation and made recommendations regarding laws impacting victims. As the Co-President of the Washtenaw Counselors Association, caring for the well-being of our community continues to be a priority.  I care deeply about our school community as well. It brings me great joy to help others discover their potential and to reach higher through life's challenges.
