Our campus is proudly supported by counselors and we have a comprehensive guidance program
that focuses on four delivery program components: guidance curriculum, planning systems,
responsive services and system support.

I was born in Germantown, Tennessee, and raised in El Paso, Texas. I moved to San Antonio to attend college and ended up loving the city so much that I decided to stay!
I am a proud product of both EPISD and NISD. I began my career in education in 2021 as a music and choir teacher and have since transitioned into school counseling. I truly enjoy working with students of all ages!
Fun Fact: 🎶 I have performed in lead roles in three operas and two musicals!
