Get to know Carla

Why did you decide to become a counselor?

I'm a former math teacher. I found that I had more interest in talking with my students and creating those relationships than I did teaching them a subject that they couldn't care less about. I am confident that I made the right decision.

What do you do for fun/on your time off?

Nothing. I LOVE doing absolutely NOTHING. That's my FAVORITE thing to do. LOL!!
