My role as a school psychologist is to help students succeed academically, socially and emotionally. I collaborate with teachers and administrators, parents and other professionals to create safe, healthy and supportive learning environments for all students that strengthen connections between home and school.

I serve 2 schools (GES and ECHS), so the best way to reach me is by email. You can also reach me by phone at Guyton Elementary most days.
