The emphasis of my professional career has been
public education: as a teacher, school counselor, and assistant
professor. As a K-12 school counselor, I became interested in higher
education training programs for school counselors. My interest continues
in that area as I strive to intertwine reality and theory into school
counselor education. My research interests include the training
of school counselors, the formulation and change of educational
aspirations of students K-12, and the use of technology in comprehensive
school counseling programs K-12.
My passion is children, from birth to old age. Most
recently I implemented a comprehensive guidance/counseling program
in a new elementary school as a pilot program for the practicum/intern
experience. I also proposed a presentation, at a national conference,
on the value of play and humor in the elderly population. My enthusiasm
is for teaching--providing students the challenge to grow, learn
and become efficient and expert counselors in our schools.
