The 2017-2018 school year has been fantastic so far!  I am enjoying working with the students and parents as well as our outstanding faculty and staff.

 

This is my 13th year as an educator and my 9th year as a school counselor (7th at the elementary level).  I began my career as a middle school science teacher and then became a high school counselor in Texas.  I then moved to Georgia and worked as an elementary school counselor for six years.  Now I am pleased to be here, enjoying life in the beautiful Pacific Northwest!

 

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Earth Science from Baylor University, a Masters of Education in Counseling from Texas State University, and an Education Specialist degree in Counseling from the University of West Georgia. 

 

An interesting fact about me is that I spent most of my childhood in Brazil and I speak Portuguese as well.  Outside of school I enjoy triathlon, jiu jitsu, riding my motorcycle, playing music, and spending time with my wife and daughter.

Please know that I am always available to work with students, parents, and teachers and I look forward to being a part of the Madison community. 

Let’s have a fantastic year together!
