Tech Tools for Productivity and Connection I had so much fun sharing all the Canva things with my school counseling bestie, Andrea Burston at the ASCA National Conference! In our session Technology Tools for Productivity and Connection we shared ways school counselors can WORK SMARTER, NOT HARDER to get the word out about their program. You can view our full presentation here: http://bit.ly/asca24techtools . I am excited to share that our session was recorded for the 2024 ASCA Virtual Conference.

I had no idea what to expect and I definitely did not realize how this single experience would significantly change my life. I went on to attend the ASCA conference each year since my first time - #ASCA12 in Minneapolis, Minnesota , #ASCA13 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania , and #ASCA14 in Orlando, Florida - a total of four times so far. I have so many great memories of from past ASCA Conferences. This year, I will not be traveling to the ASCA Conference because we are awaiting the birth of our first child.
