I'm Mrs. Stokes . I have five years of experience as a school counselor in both middle and high schools, I am passionate about supporting our students' academic, social, and emotional needs. I am a licensed counselor, and I hold a bachelor’s degree in Human Relations and a master’s degree in School Counseling Urban Youth from Trinity Washington University. Outside of work, I enjoy coffee, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. I am eager to help all students thrive.

Kind regards,

Mrs. Stokes
