Hello there!

This is my 2nd year as a Part-Time School Counselor here at Maude Wilkins, and I couldn't be more excited to begin the 2026-2027 with everyone!

Our team goes the extra mile to meet students where they are and create individualized plans allowing all types of learning to occur. Every child deserves the opportunity to become the best version of themselves and we are the team to ensure that all students feel safe and ready to thrive.

Please reach out if we can assist in any way, that is what we are here for! Thank you!
