Meet Ms.Blackwell
Hi! I'm Ms. Blackwell, the 4th-8th grade School Counselor at Renaissance West STEAM Academy. Originally from Chesapeake, Virginia, I started my career as a Special Education Inclusion teacher and am currently in my fourth year as a School Counselor. I received my Bachelors of Science in Psychology from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and Masters of Arts in Urban Education: School Counseling from Norfolk State University (NSU).
I have a strong passion for working with ALL kids and helping them maximize their full potential. I exercise this passion through mentorship, coaching dance, cheerleading and leading student groups. I hope to instill resilience, persistence and help water their own developing passions. Together we'll laugh, have fun, work hard and reach our goals. Join me :)
