Hello Dragons! I am one of the school counselors here at Odell Elementary. I work with students, grades 3-5, whose last names begin with the letters "M-Z". However, I am also available to provide support for other students as needed. My role as a school counselor is to help students be successful in the areas of academic achievement, personal/social and career development. I work with students in various ways within the school setting to help them achieve that success. I look forward to a great school year.
