School Counselor
“The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” – Nelson Mandela
Hello and welcome! I'm Mrs. Ramirez, the school counselor here at St. Bede Catholic School, and I feel truly blessed to be part of such a caring and faith-filled school community.
With a Master of Education in School Counseling and a Master of Science in Human Factors Psychology, I am passionate about helping students grow into their best selves academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually. Whether it's offering a listening ear, cheering on their achievements, helping them navigate challenges, or guiding them toward their goals, I'm here to walk alongside our students every step of the way.
I believe that when we work together with students, families, teachers, and our greater community, we can create a strong foundation for every child’s success. I strive to be a safe and welcoming presence for all students, providing them with the tools they need to feel confident, connected, and capable.
From individual support to group sessions, I love what I do and feel honored to play a role in shaping the hearts and minds of our future leaders. My door (and heart!) is always open.
Let’s make this school year one of growth, joy, and meaningful connections!
