Professional Summary
I am interested in the High School College Counselor position at Freeport High School. I have been practicing academic, career, social and emotional counseling for the past 18 years. This includes meeting with students individually and in groups to enhance their educational experiences. I developed curriculum and other tools to assist students in their transition to college including providing mentorship, tutorial support, and financial aid information. This College Counselor position would be a great fit for me because I will be able to guide high school students pursuing higher education or vocational opportunities with insight from the skills I have acquired from working in a diverse range of academic settings.
