Hello! I’m Mrs. Pierson, and I’m excited to serve the Bear Country community as the school counselor for students and families. I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree from Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi and completed my Master’s in Counseling from University of Houston- Clear Lake. I’m a School Counselor as well as a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC-A) under the supervision of Lauren Hawkins. Before transitioning into counseling, I spent seven years teaching middle school where I developed a passion for building strong, meaningful relationships with students. 

I am deeply committed to creating a safe, encouraging environment where every student feels seen, heard, and valued. I believe that strong relationships are at the heart of this work and I’m honored to walk alongside our students as they grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Ryan, playing video games, and being with our family as well as our Dogs (Astro, Ryver and Goose) and Cat (Neeko). I value my faith, strive for a healthy work-life balance, and feel truly grateful to support students during these important years. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything—I’m here to help! Go Bears!
