ABOUT
Native to Dothan, AL, I am Pike County's newest school counselor. I am servicing Pike County Elementary School, the heart of Pike County. I plan to serve a vital role in maximizing students' achievements by implementing skills to address all students' academic, personal/social and career development needs.
​
Let me tell you a little bit about myself... I attained a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology with a minor in Sociology, a Master's Degree of Education in School Counseling with High Distinction in International Studies, and an Education Specialist Degree with a concentration in Community Counseling through Troy University. My experience includes leading groups, individual sessions, career counseling, academic counseling, collaboration and consultation, administration and interpretation of tests, classroom guidance, implement intervention plans, etc. As a former kindergarten teacher turned professional school counselor, I have a passion for children in general. I look forward to being of assistance in our children's lives!
​
Remember, I am one of Pike County School's many go-to resources. You may visit me at PCES. Go Bulldogs!

In light of the growing outbreak of the novel coronavirus, Gov. Kay Ivey has issued a state of emergency, closing schools statewide March 18-April 6.
Explaining the COVID-19 novel coronavirus to children can be a challenge. Dr. Breanna Winder-Patel, a clinical psychologist at the world-renowned UC Davis MIND Institute, answers questions about guiding kids through this difficult situation, including those with neurodevelopmental differences, and explains how to understand and manage their stress and anxiety.
Due to the continued growth of the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, Gov. Kay Ivey has issued school closures for the remainder of the school year.
