🧭 Meet Jocelyn


A career educator with over 26 years of experience in Ohio high schools — including 15 years as a school counselor — I'm a PhD student in Counselor Education and Supervision at The Ohio State University, where I co-teach pre-service school counselors. I also serve as adjunct faculty in school counselor preparation and have supervised school counselor interns for most of my career.My work focuses on strengths-based transition planning, neurodiversity-affirming practices, and educational equity — helping students find meaningful postsecondary pathways, and helping the school counselors and educators who guide them feel equipped and supported in that work.

Whether you're an educator, parent, student, or organization,
I'd welcome the opportunity to connect.
