Meet the Counselor

A woman is smiling in front of a stone wall.

“I am National Board Certified in School Counseling and have a Master’s Degree in School Counseling and Guidance from Lamar University. I have been the Junior/Senior High School Counselor at Centerville ISD since 2023. Prior to working at CISD, I was a part-time guidance counselor supporting students’ needs at Teague High School. My past careers include being a teacher at all levels of instruction and coaching volleyball, basketball and track.

As a Centerville alumni, I take pride in my role at Centerville ISD. Growing up in this community, I realize the importance of mentorship and take my guidance role seriously with full intentions of offering only my best. Mostly, I consider my role of supporting the students, families and my community such a job and privilege! When I’m not at school I love spending time with my family and leading worship with the Unbroken Circle Band.”
