About Mrs. diesch
I received my Master's of Education in school counseling from Georgia State University in 2015. My mission as a school counselor is to create and implement a comprehensive school counseling program that is standards-based and data-driven. I work hard to remove barriers from children's learning, whether they are academic, emotional, or family concerns. I believe a successful school counseling program addresses the academic, personal/social, and career needs of each student. This can best be achieved through the support and collaboration of parents, families, staff, and community members that are engaged in the learning process. I commit to upholding the highest legal and ethical standards, and to pursuing professional development to stay current in the best practices for school counselors.
During the 2015-2016 school year, I have lived in Japan and taught at an English-immersion preschool. This has been a wonderful opportunity for me to expand my cultural understanding, language and communication skills, and passion for helping children. In the past, I have also worked as a mentor to at-risk Latino youth in both Gwinnett and Clarke counties, as well as in Nicaragua. Working with people of different cultures and backgrounds is exciting for me, and I hope to inspire students to view the world and people around them from an accepting and compassionate perspective. |
