Tell us a little about yourself and your family:

I am so glad to be back as an Amanda mustang, as the city that I grew up in were also the mustangs! I love that I am returning to roots, while also joining as a new Middie! I have one sister and a lot of family including our family dog Delilah! I love to spend time with friends and family while watching a movie, relaxing or crafting!

Why did you become an educator/school counselor?

I chose to be a school counselor to help others and to help students struggling with hard times. As a young child, I had some amazing teachers and counselors that helped me in many ways, and I wanted to give back! Further, I love being in the school setting.

I love this chant because it is something that creates community and unity in the school on a consistent basis. The students and staff also love participating!

I love to craft and watch movies. I also love to spend time with my friends and family and explore new areas.
