Meet Your Counselors!
Ms. Hoffman: Grades K-4
I am so excited to return to the Oaklawn family for my second year as the elementary school counselor! I grew up in Canandaigua, NY and moved to Charlotte summer 2022. I received my bachelor’s degree in Finance, Marketing and Business Analytics from LeMoyne College in Syracuse, NY. I worked in business for five years before pursuing a career in education and becoming a school counselor. I attended Niagara University in Buffalo, NY for my Masters in School Counseling. My favorite hobbies include drawing/painting, exercising/hiking, traveling, walking my Boston Terrier (his name is Bane) and exploring Charlotte! I am looking forward to an amazing school year! |
Mrs. McLean: Grades 5-8
Hi! I’m the Middle School Counselor here at Oaklawn and returning for my eleventh year! I moved to Charlotte in 2013 from Ohio. I was actually born in Raleigh, and then attended an international elementary school in Stockholm, Sweden. I spent middle and high school in Beavercreek, Ohio and then attended college at The Ohio State University (Go Buckeyes!). I got my bachelor’s degree in International Relations and Criminology and then worked in the corporate world for a year before deciding to pursue graduate school and become a school counselor. I completed my Masters in Education from the University of Cincinnati while working as an Assistant Hall Director so I had the privilege of living in a building with 800 freshmen. I knew that I wanted to move to Charlotte to be closer to family (and get away from the snow!), so I’m very thankful to be here at such an amazing school. All of our students and families are wonderful! I can't wait to have another great year with our Oaklawn family. |
