As the counselor at Albany Upper Elementary, I am available to assist parents and students with social, personal, and academic issues.  I am beginning my twenty-third year with Livingston Parish Public Schools; sixteen of those years have been spent counseling in the high school, junior high, and elementary areas.  It is my hope that I can help students and their families with the challenges of life, while getting the best education possible.  I teach character education and other life-skills lessons in the classroom, as well as provide individual and group counseling.
