The quote on my door reads, “Dreams are renewable. No matter what our age or condition, there are still untapped possibilities within us and a new beauty waiting to be born.” - Dr. Dale Turner. Believing this philosophy to be true is the underlying reason I have always worked with students with disabilities in a variety of institutions over the years.
Joining DSPS in 1995 began my journey towards the very fulfilling position of the Counselor for Students with Disabilities. This role enables me to maintain close contact with students who may face obstacles as they enter college, often as a result of life changing events. As a marriage family therapist, I learned that giving others hope not only touches the individual’s life, but all they come in contact with. Watching this ripple effect as students develop a new dream and goals for the future is one of my greatest joys, one I would like to share as often as possible.
