About your School Counselor
My name is Jennifer Caldwell and I have been a School Counselor for 17 years in the state of NY, Florida and now Maryland. I am married to a wonderful man and have three amazing kids (I might be biased). All three of my kids are in High School, so I know how important a positive school experience is for children.
I was born and raised in New York, but we have spent a lot of our adult years in Florida. As a military family, we have moved a bit, but are hoping to finally make Maryland our last stop.
I have three fur babies as well, two Frenchies, Cooper and Kyah, and our sweet kitty, Lana. They are very spoiled, but they are definitely worth it!
