Her compassionate and professional approach ensures that the counseling office remains a place of support and comfort. Beyond her official duties, Bridgette consistently goes above and beyond to meet the needs of students and staff. When Center was without a full-time school counselor, she stepped up in every possible way to ensure that students still received the care and attention they needed.

Her dedication ensured that students did not feel the absence of a full-time counselor and that teachers continued to receive the support necessary for their classrooms.
