IMPACT Grant Candidate Spotlight - Audrey Brown
Audrey Brown is a 2nd Grade Teacher at Mt. Pleasant Elementary School. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education (K-6). Audrey chose school counseling because of her passion for making a difference in students' lives. She is dedicated to supporting students' emotional, social, and career needs, and finds fulfillment in having a positive impact on their lives.
Audrey's experience as a classroom teacher has shown her that some students require additional support and someone to talk to. By transitioning to a school counseling role, she aims to provide that support and advocate for students' needs more effectively. She believes her prior teaching experience, combined with her current learning, will be a valuable asset in addressing the mental health needs of students as she enters the field of school counseling.
Outside of her professional life, Audrey enjoys spending time with her family, painting, watching and playing sports, and exercising.
This program has been amazing. I have learned so much about the role of a school counselor and how to have an encouraging influence on students' lives. I am very grateful to Lipscomb University for this opportunity to learn and grow. – Audrey Brown
