A Little about Me…
The 2007-2008 school year was my first year as a school counselor as well as my first year at BHES. Prior to coming to Bradley Hills, I worked in MCPS as a fifth and third grade teacher. I have been in MCPS for 10 years and before this I worked as a fifth and sixth grade teacher in PG County. I received my undergraduate degree in Elementary Education from the University of Maryland in College Park and my Masters of Education with a focus in School Counseling was obtained from Loyola College in Baltimore.
