Fort Payne High School

This is year 20 in public education for me! I have been a guidance counselor at Fort Payne High School for seven years. Although our guidance department works with all students for scheduling and counseling needs, I work closely with seniors as they prepare for their futures. I previously taught language arts grades 9–12 at FPHS, served as a counselor at Albertville City Schools, and taught at Boaz and Opelika middle schools. I earned my Bachelor of Science from Auburn University and my Master of Education in School Counseling from the University of West Alabama.

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year at Fort Payne High School! I am honored to serve as your high school counselor. This is my 25th year with Fort Payne City Schools, and I have served as a teacher, reading interventionist, and elementary counselor. My goal is to help every student thrive academically, socially, and emotionally while feeling supported and respected.
