As the school counselor at Franklin Smith Elementary since 2008, I have enjoyed building relationships with our students, families, and community. Teaching classroom lessons on social/emotional, academic, and career development topics are a wonderful opportunity to build skills and get to know our students. I also work with students and families to address things that may be happening within and beyond school including connecting them with resources in our community.  Please reach out to me if I can be of help to your student or family.
