Guidance

Now in my 21^st year at TMA, I feel blessed to serve as the Director of Guidance & International Recruitment. I also have the privilege of leading as the current president of the Southern Association for College Admission Counseling (SACAC), where I enjoy encouraging and supporting fellow educators. Gratefulness shapes my outlook each day—I love pouring into the lives of students, staff, and colleagues and helping them see God’s purpose for their lives.
