Meet Ebony Award-Winning School Counselor, SEL Educator, and Student Wellness Advocate Hi, I'm Ebony! I'm a passionate and award-winning professional school counselor with a Master's in Education (M.Ed.) in Professional School Counseling and over 6 years of counseling experience, plus 14 years in social services and case management. I was honored as Elementary School Counselor of the Year for the 2022-2023 school year, a recognition that reflects my dedication to promoting student well-being I specialize in teaching social emotional learning (SEL) skills to elementary students. Many children struggle with making friends, managing big emotions, or bouncing back from challenges. In my classroom, students learn to identify their feelings, practice empathy, build emotional regulation strategies, and understand the mental and physical signs of stress and anxiety. I believe that when students understand themselves better, they thrive socially, emotionally, and academically
