Hello!

Children are my oxygen and educational campuses are my garden! This is the place I want to be, and I am so blessed to have all of you in my life!!

I have been at Crumpton Elementary for eight years. I do individual and group counseling, conduct mindfulness in classes, assist families and work with teachers to find ways to best support students.

Living in Kentucky, Arizona, upstate New York, California, Malaysia and India has made it clear that a common thread amongst all of us is that we want to be understood and want to be accepted. My approach to counseling is meeting the students where they are at, loving them unconditionally and providing them with tools and skills which help them to reach their potential.

I have taught in India, upstate NY, San Jose, and in Malaysia. I have also worked in the non-profit literacy world for some time. I have a master’s in economics from Mumbai University, India and a master’s in teaching from Binghamton University, upstate NY.
