My Role at BlueSky

Middle School Counselor and Advisor

How I Came to BlueSky

I had been working as a college admissions advisor for 12 years. During that time I completed my Master’s Degree in School Counseling and was looking for a school to apply my skills.

What Makes BlueSky Special to Me

I really enjoy the flexibility and opportunities to connect with students and families in meaningful ways. We have amazing students who inspire me.

My Passions and Hobbies

In my free time I enjoy spending time with family and friends, running and reading. I also work part-time in guest services for both the Xcel Energy Center/ MN Wild and Saint Paul Saints baseball team. I am also involved with the MN School Counselors Association and East Suburban School Counselors Association.

My Most Memorable Experience at BlueSky

Attending the Mill City Museum field trip and watching our students make cookies during the breakout. I was one of the “judges” of best marketing concept and cookie. It was really fun spending time with our students in person.
